John Calvin on Matthew 12:21

21. And in his name shall the Gentiles trust Instead of these words the prophet has, The isles shall wait for his law. But though Matthew has changed the words, the meaning is the same, that the grace of Christ will be shared by the Gentiles.

Matthew 12:22-24

Mark 3:20-22

Luke 11:14-15

22. Then was brought to him one who was tormented by a devil, blind and dumb; and he cured him, so that the blind and dumb person both spoke and saw. 23. And all the multitudes were astonished, and said, Is not this the son of David? 24. But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This man doth not cast out devils but by Beelzebub prince of the devils.

20. And they come into the house, and immediately a multitude assembled, so that they could not even eat bread. “Ils ne pouvoyent pas mesme prendre leur repas;” — “they could not even take their meal.” 21. And when those who were related to him heard it, they went out to lay hands on him; “Ils sortirent pour le saisir;” — “they went out to seize him.” for they said, He is gone mad. “Car ils disoyent qu’il estoit hors du sens;” — “for they said that he was out of his senses.” 22. And the Scribes, who had come down from Jerusalem, said, He hath Beelzebub, and by the prince of the devils he casteth out devils.

14. And he was casting out a devil, and it was dumb. “Un diable qui estoit muet;” — “a devil which was dumb.” And when he had cast out the devil, the dumb person spoke, and the multitudes wondered. “Dont les troupes s’emerveillerent;” — “at which the multitudes wondered.” 15. And some of them said, By Beelzebub, the prince of the devils, he casteth out devils. “C’est par Beel-zebub, prince des diables, qu’il iette hors les diables;” — “it is by Beelzebub, prince of the devils, that he casteth out devils.”
