Matthew 12:25-29

25 ^aAnd ^bknowing their thoughts, Jesus said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste; and no city or house divided against itself will stand. 26 And if ^cSatan is casting out Satan, he ^{▼▼Lit was}has become divided against himself; how then will his kingdom stand? 27 And if ^eby ^{▼▼See note v 24}Beelzebul I cast out the demons, ^gby whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore, they will be your judges. 28 But ^hif I cast out the demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you. 29 Or, how can anyone enter the strong man’s house and carry off his property, unless he first ties up the strong man? And then he will plunder his house.
