²⁵^aAnd ^bknowing their thoughts He said to them, “¹Any kingdom divided against itself is laid waste; and ²any city or house divided against itself will not stand.

²⁶“And if ^aSatan casts out Satan, he ¹is divided against himself; how then will his kingdom stand?

²⁷“And if I ^aby ¹Beelzebul cast out demons, ^bby whom do your sons cast them out? For this reason they will be your judges.

²⁸“But ^aif I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.

²⁹“Or how can anyone enter the strong man’s house and carry off his property, unless he first binds the strong man? And then he will plunder his house.

Blasphemy Against the Holy Spirit

³⁰“^aHe who is not with Me is against Me; and he who does not gather with Me scatters.
