Mat 12:25-30 | ESV | STEP | Knowing their thoughts , he said to them , Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste , and no city or house divided against itself will stand .

Matthew 12:25-30

25 ^aKnowing their thoughts, ^bhe 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. How then will his kingdom stand? 27 And if I cast out demons by Beelzebul, ^cby whom do ^dyour sons cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges. 28 But if it is ^eby the Spirit of God that I cast out demons, then ^fthe kingdom of God has come upon you. 29 Or ^ghow can someone enter a strong man’s house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man? Then indeed ^hhe may plunder his house. 30 ⁱWhoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters.
