Matthew 12:34 in Context — Matthew 12
32 Quiconque parlera contre le Fils de l’homme, il lui sera pardonné;mais quiconque parlera contre le Saint-Esprit, il ne lui sera pardonné ni dans ce siècle ni dans le siècle à venir.
33 Ou dites que l’arbre est bon et que son fruit est bon, ou dites que l’arbre est mauvais et que son fruit est mauvais; car on connaît l’arbre par le fruit.
34 Races de vipères, comment pourriez-vous dire de bonnes chose, méchants comme vous l’êtes?Car c’est de l’abondance du cœur que la bouche parle.
35 L’homme bon tire de bonnes choses de son bon trésor, et l’homme méchant tire de mauvaises choses de son mauvais trésor.
36 Je vous le dis:au jour du jugement, les hommes rendront compte detoute parole vaine qu’ils auront proférée.
