Matthew 12:22-30
A House Divided
22 Then was brought unto him one possessed with a devil, blind, and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spake and saw.
22:
23 And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of David?
23:
24 But when the Pharisees heard [it], they said, This [fellow] doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils.
24:
25 And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:
25:
26 And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?
26:
27 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast [them] out? therefore they shall be your judges.
27:
28 But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you.
28:
29 Or else how can one enter into a strong man’s house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house.
29:
30 He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.
30:
