Matthew 12:24-28

English Standard Version

²⁴ But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, ^(A)“It is only by Beelzebul, the prince of demons, that this man casts out demons.” ^25 (B)Knowing their thoughts, ^(C)he 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, ^(D)by whom do ^(E)your sons cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges. ²⁸ But if it is ^(F)by the Spirit of God that I cast out demons, then ^(G)the kingdom of God has come upon you.
