Context of Mark 3:22
20And the multitude cometh together again, so that they could not so much as eat bread. 21And when his friends heard of it, they went out to lay hold on him: for they said, He is beside himself. And the scribes who came down from Jerusalem said, He hath Beelzebub, and by the prince of the demons he casteth out demons. 23And he called them to him, and said to them in parables, How can Satan cast out Satan? 24And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.
