Matthew 12:24-26

24 But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, ^a“It is only by Beelzebul, the prince of demons, that this man casts out demons.” 25 ^bKnowing their thoughts, ^che said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste, and no city or house divided against itself will stand. 26 And if Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself.
