Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁵ Thereupon Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said to them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation. And no city or family divided against itself can subsist. ²⁶ Now if Satan expelleth Satan, he is at variance with himself, how then can his kingdom subsist? ²⁷ Besides if I expel demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your sons expel them? Let them therefore be your judges. ²⁸ But if I expel the demons by the Spirit of God, then indeed the reign of God over you is come. ²⁹ How can anyone enter the house of the strong and plunder his goods, unless he first bind the strong one, in which case he may then plunder his house. ³⁰ He who is not for me is against me; and he who gathereth not with me, scattereth.
