Matthew 12:24-30

24But when the PhariseesG5330 heardG191 this, they saidG3004, “ThisG3778 manG3778 1castsG1544 outG1544 demonsG1140 onlyG3756 G1487 G3361 by 2BeelzebulG954 the rulerG758 of the demonsG1140.”

25 3And 4knowingG3609 their thoughtsG1761, Jesus saidG3004 to them, “EveryG3956 kingdomG932 dividedG3307 againstG2596 itselfG1438 is laidG2049 wasteG2049; and noG3756 G3956 cityG4172 orG2228 houseG3614 dividedG3307 againstG2596 itselfG1438 will standG2476. 26And ifG1487 5SatanG4567 is castingG1544 outG1544 SatanG4567, he 6has become dividedG3307 againstG1909 himselfG1438; howG4459 thenG3767 will his kingdomG932 standG2476? 27And ifG1487 7by 8BeelzebulG954 I castG1544 outG1544 the demonsG1140, 9by whomG5101 do your sonsG5207 castG1544 them outG1544? ThereforeG1223 G3778, they will be your judgesG2923. 28But 10ifG1487 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, unlessG1437 G3361 he firstG4413 tiesG1210 upG1210 the strongG2478 man? And thenG5119 he will plunderG1283 his houseG3614. 30 11The one who is not with Me is againstG2596 Me; and the one who does not gatherG4863 with Me scattersG4650.
