" Matthew 12 features confrontations between the Pharisees and Jesus over several issues. Among these are working on the Sabbath, healing on the Sabbath, and the source of His power to cast out demons. Jesus counters each argument and rebukes the Pharisees sharply for their obstinate unbelief. He even notes that those who maliciously ascribe His miracles to demons are unforgivable. He warns them, and the rest of their current generation, about the judgment to come. Jesus calls the Pharisees a brood of vipers and rejects their demand for another miracle. All they'll be promised is the sign of Jonah. The Son of Man will be in the heart of the earth for three days. Jesus also states that all who do His Father's will are His family."

Very good point. I always love reading how our Lord was so quick, precise in language and
incisive when admonishing the Pharisees. He was (is) so brilliant. Oh, one more thought:
Yep, others accused Him of having the spirit of Beelzebub. What's interesting is that in
that song Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen, Beelzebub is mentioned in verse 3. Hmm? Interesting
that it's in verse 3. The devil always mimics the Most High. Since, the Lord does a lot of
things in 3's too.
Peace, love and the Lords' favor,
Roger
