Matthew 12:22–30

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