Matthew 12:22-30

221ThenG5119 a 2demon-possessedG1139 man who was blindG5185 and muteG2974 was broughtG4374 to 3Jesus, and He healedG2323 him, soG5620 that the muteG2974 manG2974 spokeG2980 and sawG991. 23AllG3956 the crowdsG3793 were amazedG1839, and were sayingG3004, “ThisG3778 man cannotG3385 be the 4SonG5207 of DavidG1160, can he?” 24But when the PhariseesG5330 heardG191 this, they saidG3004, “ThisG3778 manG3778 5castsG1544 out demonsG1140 onlyG3756G1487G3361 by 6BeelzebulG954 the rulerG758 of the demonsG1140.”

257And 8knowingG3609 their thoughtsG1761 Jesus saidG3004 to them, “9AnyG3956 kingdomG932 dividedG3307 againstG2596 itselfG1438 is laidG2049 wasteG2049; and 10anyG3956 cityG4172 orG2228 houseG3614 dividedG3307 againstG2596 itselfG1438 will not standG2476. 26IfG1487 11SatanG4567 castsG1544 out SatanG4567, he 12is dividedG3307 againstG1909 himselfG1438; howG4459 thenG3767 will his kingdomG932 standG2476? 27IfG1487 I 13by 14BeelzebulG954 castG1544 out demonsG1140, 15by whomG5101 do your sonsG5207 castG1544 them out? For thisG1223G3778 reasonG1223G3778 they will be your judgesG2923. 28But 16ifG1487 I castG1544 out demonsG1140 by the SpiritG4151 of GodG2316, thenG686 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316 has comeG5348 upon you. 29OrG2228 howG4459 canG1410 anyoneG5100 enterG1525 the strongG2478 man’sG2478 houseG3614 and carryG726 offG726 his propertyG4632, unlessG1437G3361 he firstG4413 bindsG1210 the strongG2478 man? And thenG5119 he will plunderG1283 his houseG3614. 3017He who is not with Me is againstG2596 Me; and he who does not gatherG4863 with Me scattersG4650.
