22 And the scribes, those from Jerusalem having come down, said: That Beelzebul he has; also; That by the chief of the demons he casts out the demons.

23 And having called them, in parables he said to them: How is able an adversary and adversary to cast out?

24 And if a kingdom against herself should be divided, not able to stand the kingdom that;

25 and if a house against herself should be divided, not able to stand the house that;

26 and if the adversary has risen up against himself and has been divided, not able to stand, but an end he has.

27 No one is able the household goods of the strong man, entering into the house of him, to plunder, if not first the strong man he should bind; and then the house of him he will plunder.

28 Indeed I say to you, that all will be forgiven to the sons of the men the sins, and the evil speakings, whatever they may revile;

29 who but ever may speak evil to the spirit the holy, not has forgiveness to the age, but liable is of agelasting judgment.

30 Because they said: A spirit unclean he has.

22 Scribes that came down from Jerusalem said: »He has Beelzebub. He casts out demons by the prince of the demons.«

23 Jesus called them to him and spoke to them in illustrations. He asked: »How could Satan cast out Satan?

24 »When a kingdom is divided against itself that kingdom cannot stand.

25 »When a house is divided against itself it will not be able to stand.

26 »If Satan has risen up against himself, he is divided, cannot stand and will come to an end.

27 »No one can enter into the house of the strong man and steal his property unless he first captures the strong man. Then he will steal his property.

28 »I tell you sins will be forgiven of the sons of men, and their evil talk will be forgiven.

29 »But whoever speaks evil and defames Holy Spirit will not be forgiven but is guilty of an eternal sin.«

30 They exclaimed: »He has an unclean spirit!«
