Matthew 12:24-30

Goodspeed(i) 24 But when the Pharisees heard of it they said, "This man cannot drive out demons except by the aid of Beelzebub, the prince of the demons." 25 But he knew what they were thinking, and he said to them, "Any kingdom that is disunited is on the way to destruction, and any city or household that is disunited cannot last. 26 If Satan is driving Satan out, he is disunited, and so how can his kingdom last? 27 And if I am driving the demons out by Beelzebub's aid, by whose aid do your sons drive them out? Therefore let them be your judges. 28 But if I am driving the demons out by the aid of God's Spirit, then the Kingdom of God has overtaken you. 29 How can anyone get into a strong man's house and carry off his property unless he first binds the strong man? After that he can plunder his house. 30 Anyone who is not with me is against me, and anyone who does not join me in gathering, scatters.
