The dumb man possessed with a devil

Saint Matthew - Chapter 12

The man possessed with devils. J-J Tissot

[22] Tunc oblatus est ei daemonium habens, caecus, et mutus, et curavit eum ita ut loqueretur, et videret.
Then was offered to him one possessed with a devil, blind and dumb: and he healed him, so that he spoke and saw.

[23] Et stupebant omnes turbae, et dicebant : Numquid hic est filius David?
And all the multitudes were amazed, and said: Is not this the son of David?

[24] Pharisaei autem audientes, dixerunt : Hic non ejicit daemones nisi in Beelzebub principe daemoniorum.
But the Pharisees hearing it, said: This man casteth not out the devils but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils.

[25] Jesus autem sciens cogitationes eorum, dixit eis : Omne regnum divisum contra se desolabitur : et omnis civitas vel domus divisa contra se, non stabit.
And Jesus knowing their thoughts, said to them: Every kingdom divided against itself shall be made desolate: and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand.

[26] Et si Satanas Satanam ejicit, adversus se divisus est : quomodo ergo stabit regnum ejus?
And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself: how then shall his kingdom stand?

[27] Et si ego in Beelzebub ejicio daemones, filii vestri in quo ejiciunt? ideo ipsi judices vestri erunt.
And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore they shall be your judges.

[28] But if I by the Spirit of God cast out devils, then is the kingdom of God come upon you.
Si autem ego in Spiritu Dei ejicio daemones, igitur pervenit in vos regnum Dei.

[29] Aut quomodo potest quisquam intrare in domum fortis, et vasa ejus diripere, nisi prius alligaverit fortem? et tunc domum illius diripiet.
Or how can any one enter into the house of the strong, and rifle his goods, unless he first bind the strong? and then he will rifle his house.

[30] Qui non est mecum, contra me est; et qui non congregat mihi, spargit.
He that is not with me, is against me: and he that gathereth not with me, scattereth.

Totus tuus ego sum 

Et omnia mea tua sunt;

Tecum semper tutus sum:
Ad Jesum per Mariam
