New Testament

Matthew 12:33-39 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

33. A good tree produces only good fruit, and a bad tree produces bad fruit. You can tell what a tree is like by the fruit it produces.

34. You are evil snakes, so how can you say anything good? Your words show what is in your hearts.

35. Good people bring good things out of their hearts, but evil people bring evil things out of their hearts.

36. I promise you that on the day of judgment, everyone will have to account for every careless word they have spoken.

37. On that day they will be told that they are either innocent or guilty because of the things they have said.

38. Some Pharisees and teachers of the Law of Moses said, “Teacher, we want you to show us a sign from heaven.”

39. But Jesus replied:You want a sign because you are evil and won't believe! But the only sign you will get is the sign of the prophet Jonah.
