Matthew 12:23-30

23 aAnd all the people were amazed, and said, b“Can this be the Son of David?” 24But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, c“It is only by Beelzebul, the prince of demons, that this man casts out demons.” 25 dKnowing their thoughts, ehe said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste, and no city or house divided against itself will stand. 26And if Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand? 27And if I cast out demons by Beelzebul, fby whom do gyour sons cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges. 28But if it is hby the Spirit of God that I cast out demons, then ithe kingdom of God has come upon you. 29Or jhow can someone enter a strong man’s house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man? Then indeed khe may plunder his house. 30 lWhoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters.
