22 And the scribes who came down from Jerusalem said, Matt. 9:34; 10:25; Luke 11:15; John 7:20; 8:48, 52; 10:20"He has Beelzebub," and, "By the (John 12:31; 14:30; 16:11; Eph. 2:2)ruler of the demons He casts out demons."
23 Matt. 12:25–29; Luke 11:17–22So He called them to Himself and said to them in parables: "How can Satan cast out Satan?24 If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.25 And if a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand.26 And if Satan has risen up against himself, and is divided, he cannot stand, but has an end.27 (Is. 49:24, 25); Matt. 12:29No one can enter a strong man’s house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man. And then he will plunder his house.
