## Matthew 12:33-35 in Context (Verses 30–38 KJV)
 
 [30 ](/kjv/matthew/12/30) He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.
 
 [31 ](/kjv/matthew/12/31) ¶ Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy *against* the *Holy* Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.
 
 [32 ](/kjv/matthew/12/32) And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the *world* to come.
 
 [33 ](/kjv/matthew/12/33) Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by *his* fruit.
 
 [34 ](/kjv/matthew/12/34) O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.
 
 [35 ](/kjv/matthew/12/35) A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.
 
 [36 ](/kjv/matthew/12/36) But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
 
 [37 ](/kjv/matthew/12/37) For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
 
 [38 ](/kjv/matthew/12/38) ¶ Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.
