A House Divided
22 Then a demon-possessed man 12:22–24 Lk 11:14–15 who was blind and unable to speak was brought to him. He healed him, so that the man 12:22 Lit mute could both speak and see. 12:22 Mt 4:24; 9:32–3423 All the crowds were astounded and said, "Could this be the Son of David? " 12:23 2Ch 1:1; Mt 1:1; Rm 1:3
24 When the Pharisees heard this, they said, "This man drives out demons only by Beelzebul, the ruler of the demons." 12:24 Mt 9:34; 10:25; Mk 3:22
28 If I drive out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you. 12:28 Lk 17:21; 1Jn 3:8
