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. 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, cby whom do dyour sons cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges. 28But if it is eby the Spirit of God that I cast out demons, then fthe kingdom of God has come upon you. 29Or 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.Luke 11:17-23
17 jBut he, kknowing their thoughts, said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste, and a divided household falls. 18And if Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say that I cast out demons by Beelzebul. 19And if I cast out demons by Beelzebul, lby whom do myour sons cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges. 20But if it is by nthe finger of God that I cast out demons, then othe kingdom of God has come upon you. 21When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own palace, his goods are safe; 22 pbut when one stronger than he attacks him and qovercomes him, he takes away his rarmor in which he trusted and sdivides his spoil. 23 tWhoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters.
