22 Then a man was brought to Jesus who was demon-possessed and blind and dumb. Jesus healed him, so that the dumb man could speak and see. 23 All the crowds were amazed, and asked, "This man couldn’t really be the son of David, could he?"12:23. Meaning the Messiah who was expected to come.
24 But when the Pharisees heard this, they replied, "This man can only throw out demons through the power of Beelzebub, the chief of demons!"
28 But if I’m throwing out demons through the power of the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come to you!
