‏ Matthew 12:24-27

12:24  a Satan: Greek Beelzeboul; see study note on 10:25.
12:26  b Jesus argued, in essence, “If I cast out demons under the influence of Satan, then Satan is dividing his camp, which obviously would be a foolish thing for Satan to do.”
12:27  c what about your own exorcists (literally your sons): Jesus forced them to think consistently. If demons are cast out under Satan’s influence, then their disciples were equally guilty (see Acts 19:13-16  d).
