Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters

 Matthew 12;15-32

Aware of this, Jesus withdrew from that place. A large crowd followed him, and he healed all who were ill. He warned them not to tell others about him. This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah.

Then they brought him a demon-possessed man who was blind and mute, and Jesus healed him, so that he could both talk and see. All the people were astonished and said, “Could this be the Son of David?”

But when the Pharisees heard this, they said, “It is only by Beelzebul, the prince of demons, that this fellow drives out demons.”

But if it is by the Spirit of God that I drive out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.

“Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters. And so I tell you, every kind of sin and slander can be forgiven, but blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come.

The Pharisees see Jesus as the devil's agent, despite the transparent goodness of his wok. If they were right, Satan would be set on a suicide course - as are all who, like the Pharisees, call good evil.

Why?

Jesus fulfills what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah, Jesus is the son of God.

People knew Jesus is different from other men but like the Son of David. But Prasisees said Jesus is the devil's agent, this is a huge lie and against Jesus. So Jesus says anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, it is against the mind of the Lord.

There is no middle position between Jesus and the devil. Whoever is not with me is against me.

法利賽人對耶穌的反應，行神蹟，趕鬼

法利賽人想殺耶穌，因為耶穌和他們不一樣。明明看到耶穌的神蹟，故意說假話。法利賽人才是真瞎又啞。故意沒看到，說不出真話。因為他們無法改變既有的想法，且耶穌已經動了他們的地位，自大，猖狂。

耶穌是柔和謙卑，耶穌不去傳揚，也不要人去傳揚，這是柔和，謙卑。

我們不為自己爭，神為我們爭。

耶穌不與法利賽人想爭，如同鬼國不會相爭。但是法利賽人卻與耶穌為敵。他們對耶穌的反應，說成鬼王，就是與聖齡為敵。這怎麽回悔改歸向主。我們不是法利賽人，但是我們很可能成為法利賽人，因為自認為熟悉聖經，以自己的觀點來解釋聖經。不再柔和謙卑。
