Matthew 12:24-28

New American Standard Bible

²⁴ But when the Pharisees heard this, they said, “This man ^(A)casts out demons only by ^[a]Beelzebul the ruler of the demons.”

^25 (B)And ^(C)knowing their thoughts, Jesus said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste; and no city or house divided against itself will stand. ²⁶ And if ^(D)Satan is casting out Satan, he ^[b]has become divided against himself; how then will his kingdom stand? ²⁷ And if ^(E)by ^[c]Beelzebul I cast out the demons, ^(F)by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore, they will be your judges. ²⁸ But ^(G)if I cast out the demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.
