Mark 3:22-30 But the scribes who had come down from Jerusalem said, "He has Beelzebul," and "It is by the prince of daemons that he casts out daemons."

Moffatt⁽ⁱ⁾ ²² But the scribes who had come down from Jerusalem said, "He has Beelzebul," and "It is by the prince of daemons that he casts out daemons." ²³ So he called them and said to them by way of parable, "How can Satan cast out Satan? ²⁴ If a realm is divided against itself, that realm cannot stand: ²⁵ if a household is divided against itself, that household cannot stand: ²⁶ and if Satan has risen against himself and is divided, he cannot stand, he comes to an end. ²⁷ No one can enter the strong man's house and plunder his goods unless first of all he binds the strong man; then he can plunder his house. ²⁸ I tell you truly, the sons of men shall be forgiven all their sins, and all the blasphemies they may utter, ²⁹ but whoever blasphemes against the holy Spirit is never forgiven, he is guilty of an eternal sin." ³⁰ (This was because they said, "He has an unclean spirit.")
