Matthew 12:22-29

221ThenG5119 a 2demon-possessedG1139 man who was blindG5185 and unableG2974 toG2974 speakG2974 was broughtG4374 to 3Jesus, and He healedG2323 him soG5620 thatG5620 the manG2974 who was unableG2974 toG2974 speakG2974 talkedG2980 and 4could seeG991. 23And allG3956 the crowdsG3793 were amazedG1839 and were sayingG3004, “ThisG3778 manG3778 cannotG3385 be the 5SonG5207 of DavidG1160, can he?” 24But when the PhariseesG5330 heardG191 this, they saidG3004, “ThisG3778 manG3778 6castsG1544 outG1544 demonsG1140 onlyG3756G1487G3361 by 7BeelzebulG954 the rulerG758 of the demonsG1140.”

258And 9knowingG3609 their thoughtsG1761, Jesus saidG3004 to them, “EveryG3956 kingdomG932 dividedG3307 againstG2596 itselfG1438 is laidG2049 wasteG2049; and noG3756G3956 cityG4172 orG2228 houseG3614 dividedG3307 againstG2596 itselfG1438 will standG2476. 26And ifG1487 10SatanG4567 is castingG1544 outG1544 SatanG4567, he 11has become dividedG3307 againstG1909 himselfG1438; howG4459 thenG3767 will his kingdomG932 standG2476? 27And ifG1487 12by 13BeelzebulG954 I castG1544 outG1544 the demonsG1140, 14by whomG5101 do your sonsG5207 castG1544 them outG1544? ThereforeG1223G3778, they will be your judgesG2923. 28But 15ifG1487 I castG1544 outG1544 the 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 tiesG1210 upG1210 the strongG2478 man? And thenG5119 he will plunderG1283 his houseG3614.
