Matthew 12:22-32

221Then a 2demon-possessed man who was blind and unable to speak was brought to 3Jesus, and He healed him so that the man who was unable to speak talked and 4could see. 23And all the crowds were amazed and were saying, “This man cannot be the 5Son of David, can he?” 24But when the Pharisees heard this, they said, “This man 6casts out demons only by 7Beelzebul the ruler of the demons.”

258And 9knowing their thoughts, Jesus said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste; and no city or house divided against itself will stand. 26And if 10Satan is casting out Satan, he 11has become divided against himself; how then will his kingdom stand? 27And if 12by 13Beelzebul I cast out the demons, 14by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore, they will be your judges. 28But 15if I cast out the 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 ties up the strong man? And then he will plunder his house. 3016The one who is not with Me is against Me; and the one who does not gather with Me scatters.

31“17Therefore I say to you, every sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven people, but blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven. 3218And whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, either in 19this age or in the age to come.
