34 You children of snakes! How can you, evil as you are, say anything good? For what fills the heart will rise to the lips.

Show original chapterSource Text Study
Relevant source witnesses currently attached to Matthew 12:34. Some ancient sources use different book or verse structures, so availability notes call out gaps honestly instead of forcing five panels everywhere.
How to read this study data
Source panels are separated by tradition and license. Imported or dataset-backed morphology is stronger than generated or rule-aligned morphology, and editorial alignment notes explain source-structure exceptions without pretending to be ancient source text.
When a verse uses different numbering in a source tradition, Spirit Nation may show the closest mapped source reference and label it directly on the panel.
