Matthew 12:25-32

25 1And 2knowing their thoughts Jesus said to them, “3Any kingdom divided against itself is laid waste; and 4any city or house divided against itself will not stand. 26If 5Satan casts out Satan, he 6is divided against himself; how then will his kingdom stand? 27If I 7by 8Beelzebul cast out demons, 9by whom do your sons cast them out? For this reason they will be your judges. 28But 10if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you. 29Or how can anyone enter the strong man’s house and carry off his property, unless he first binds the strong man? And then he will plunder his house. 30 11He who is not with Me is against Me; and he who does not gather with Me scatters.

31“12Therefore I say to you, any sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven people, but blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven. 32 13Whoever 14speaks a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him; but whoever 15speaks against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, either in 16this age or in the age to come.
