According to Matthew 12: 15-21: The Chosen Servant
15 But when he knew Jesus went back from the place. And many crowds followed him, and he healed them all. 16 And he commanded them so that he might not be made visible, 17 that the word (spoken) through Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled(,) who said,
18 Behold my son whom I chose, my beloved whom my soul praises: I will set my spirit upon him, and he sends judgement on the gentiles. 19 He will not quarrel nor shout, nor will anyone in the wide streets hear his voice. 20 He will not break a shattered reed and he will not extinguish a smoldering wick, until he casts judgement out in victory. 21 And gentiles will hope in his name.

According to Matthew 12: 22-32: Jesus and Beelzebul
22 Then a blind and deaf demoniac approached him, and he healed him, so that the deaf (man) spoke and saw*. 23 And all the crowd was amazed and said, "Can this be David's son?" 24 But hearing (this) the Pharisees said, "This (man) does not cast out demons but by Beelzebul ruler of demons." 25 But knowing their thoughts he said to them, "Each kingdom divided against itself is laid wasted, and each city or home divided against itself will not stand. 26 And if Satan casts out Satan, he has been laid waste by himself: so how will his kingdom stand? 27 And if I cast out demons by Beelzebul, by what do your sons cast (them) out? 28 But if I cast out demons by God's spirit, consequently God's kingdom came upon you first. 29 Or how is anyone able to enter the house of a strong (man) and carry off his belongings, if he had not first tied up the strong one? And then he rifles his house. 30 He who is not with me is against me, and he who meets with me is not scattered**.
31 Through this I tell you, all sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the spirit of blasphemy will not be forgiven. 32 And whoever has said a word against the son of man, it will be forgiven him: but whoever spoke against the spirit of holiness, it will not be forgiven him(,) not in this age nor in that which comes.
*These are infinitives in the Greek. **i.e. not frightened, not overcome.

According to Matthew 12: 33-37: A Tree and Its Fruits
33 Either you will make a good tree and its crop good, or you will make a rotten tree and its fruit worthless: for by the fruit the tree is known. 34 (You) children of vipers, how will you be able to say 'good'(,) being evil? For from the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. 35 The good man brings out good from a store of good, and the evil man brings out evil from a store of evil. 36 But I tell you that each idle word which men say(,) the word will be restored to him on the day of judgement: 37 for by your words you will be set right, and by your words you will be condemned.

According to Matthew 12: 38-42:The Demand for a Sign
38 Then some of the scribes and Pharisees responded to him saying, "Teacher, we desire to see a sign from you." 39 But answering he said to them, "The evil generation,* the adulteress(,) seeks a sign, and a sign will not be given her except the sign of Jonah the prophet, 40 for just as Jonah was in the belly of a leviathan for three days and three nights, so the son of man will be in the heart of the earth for three days and three nights. 41 The men of Nineveh will stand up in the judgement with this generation and they will condemn it, since they repented into Jonah's message, and behold (one) more than Jonah (is) here. 42 The reign of the south wind will arise in the judgement with the earth and he will judge it, since he came from beyond the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold (one) more than Solomon (is) here.
*Originally 'and' instead of a comma.

According to Matthew 12: 43-45: The Return of the Unclean Spirit
43 But when you take an unclean spirit out of a man, he (the unclean spirit) goes to a deserted place to seek relief and he will not find (it). 44 Then he says, "I will return to my house which I left:" and going he will find (it) empty(,) swept out(,) and in order. 45 Then he goes and recieves to himself seven other worse spirits and they enter (and) live there: and the last (days) of the man become worse than the first. Thus will even this evil generation be.

According to Matthew 12: 46-50: The Mother and Brothers of Jesus
46 When he was still speaking to the crowds(,) behold his mother and brothers standing outside seeking to speak to him. [47 And some one told him, "Behold your mother and your brothers standing outside seeking to speak to you."] 48 But answering he said to the same speaker, "Who is my mother and who are my brothers?" 49 And extending his hand to his disciples he said, "Behold my mother and my brothers. 50 For whoever does the will of my father in heaven(,) he is my brother and sister and mother."

According to Matthew 13: 1-9: The Parable of the Sower
1 In that day Jesus(,) exiting the house(,) sat beside the sea: 2 and many crowds gathered before him, so that he stepped into the boat (and) sat down, and all the crowd stood on the shore. 3 And he told them much in parables(,) saying, "Behold the sower went out to sow, 4 and in sowing(,) indeed some seed fell beside the road, and coming the birds devoured it. 5 But some (seed) fell on on the rocky ground where there is not much earth, and immediately it sprouted without having depth (in) the earth: 6 but the dawning of the sun scorched (it) and through not having a root it withered. 7 But (some) fell on the thorn plants, and the thorns came up and choked it. 8 But some fell on good land and produced a crop, which on the one hand (was) a hundred(fold), but on another sixty(fold), on another thirty(fold). 9 He who has ears let him hear.

According to Matthew 13: 10-17: The Purpose of the Parables
10 And approaching the disciples said to him, "Why do you speak to them in parables?" 11 But answering he said, "Because the mystery of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you to know, but (it) has not been given to them. 12 For whoever has (it), (it) has been given to him and they will abound (in it): but whoever has not, what he has will also be taken from him. 13 Because of this I speak to them in parables, since while seeing they see not and while hearing they do not hear nor understand, 14 and the prophecy of Isaiah will be fulfilled again to them(,) which says,
You will hear the news and not understand and while seeing you will see and not percieve. 15 For the heart of this people has grown dull, and they heard those who were heavy laden and they closed their eyes nor will they see with their eyes nor will they hear with their ears and understand and believe the heart and I will heal them.
16 But your eyes (are) blessed because they see and your ears because they hear. 17 For truly I tell you, many prophets and righteous men greatly desired to see what you see, and they did not see, and to hear what you hear, and they did not hear.

According to Matthew 13: 18-23: The Parable of the Sower Explained
18 Therefore you will hear the parable of the sower. 19 Everyone who hears the king's word and does not understand(,) the evil one comes and snatches away that which has been sown in his heart, this is what was sown beside the road. 20 But what was sown upon the rocks, this is the word that was heard(,) and it was immediately recieved with joy, 21 but not having roots by itself instead is not lasting, but is born of trouble or persecution, by means of the word immediately falls into sin. 22 But what was sown upon the thorns, this is the word that is heard, and the cares of the time and the deception of wealth crust the word and unfruitfulness comes about. 23 But what is sown on the good land, this is the word that was heard and understood, which indeed bears a crop and produces on one hand a hundred(fold), on another sixty(fold), on another thirty(fold).

According to Matthew 13: 24-30: The Parable of the Weeds among the Wheat
24 He put another parable before them(,) saying, "The kingdom of heaven was like a sower(, a man who sows) good seed in his field. 25 But in sleep his enemy came to the man and sowed weeds among the grain and departed. 26 But when the grain sprouted and produced a crop, then also the weeds appeared. 27 And the master's servants came to him (and) said to him, "Lord, did you not sow good seed in your field? Therefore from whence does it have weeds?" 28 But he told them, "My enemy has done this." But the servants say to him, "Therefore do you wish us to go (and) gather them?" 29 But he said, "No, lest you uproot the grain at the same time as you gather the weeds. 30 Leave both to grow together until the harvest, and in the time of harvest I will tell the harvesters, 'Gather first the weeds and tie them into bundles to be burned, but gather the grain into my barn.' "

According to Matthew 13: 31-33: The Parables of the Mustard Seed and the Leaven
31 He put another parable before them(,) saying, "The kingdom of heaven is like a seed of mustard, which a man took and sowed in his field: 32 indeed it is the smallest of all seeds, but when it grows it is greater than the plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of heaven come and nest in its branches."
33 He told them another parable: "The kingdom of heaven is like yeast, which a woman takes (and) mixes into three sata* of flour until the whole no longer rises.
*A saton is 21.6 pints.

According to Matthew 13: 34-35: The Use of Parables
34 Jesus said all these things to the crowd in parables and without parables he tells them nothing, 35 that the word (spoken) through the prophet might be fulfilled(,) which says
I open my mouth in parables, I will tell secret things from the beginnings of the world.

According to Matthew 13: 36-43: The Parable of the Weeds Explained
36 Then releasing the crowds he went into the house. And his disciples approached him saying, "Explain the parable of the weeds of the field to us." 37 But answering he said, "He who sowed the good seed is the son of man, 39 and the field is the world, and the good seed(,) these are the sons of the kingdom: but the weeds are the sons of the evil one, 39 and the enemy seed(,) they are the devil, and the harvesters are angels. 40 Therefore even as the weeds were gathered and burned in [thrown down into] the fire, so it will be in the harvest of the age: 41 the son of man sends out his angels, and they will gather all those who cause sin and who do wickedness from his kingdom 42 and they will throw them into the the furnace of fire: there will be bitter crying and gnashing of teeth.
43 Then the righteous will shine like the sun in their father's kingdom. He who has ears let him hear.

According to Matthew 13: 44-50: Three Parables
44 The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in a field, which a man hid after finding, and he goes in his joy and sells all he has and buys that field.
45 Again the kingdom of heaven is like a merchantman seeking beautiful pearls: 46 but finding one very precious pearl he goes(,) sells all he has and bought* that pearl.
47 Again the kingdom of heaven is like a net thrown into the sea and it gathers of all kinds (of things): 48 which when it was filled was brought up on the shore and sitting they gathered the good (things) into baskets, but threw the bad out. 49 Thus it will be in the harvest of the age: the angels go out and separate the evil from among the righteous 50 and they will throw them into the furnace of fire: there will be bitter crying and grinding of teeth.
*This inconsistency in tense comes from the Greek.
