3 But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This man does not cast out demons, but by Beelzebul the prince of the demons.4 And knowing their thoughts he said to them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself will not stand:5 and if Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself; how then will his kingdom stand?6 And if I by Beelzebul cast out demons, by whom do your{} sons cast them out? Therefore they will be your{} judges.7 But if I by the Spirit of God cast out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you{}.8 Or how can one enter into the house of the strong [man,] and spoil his goods, except he first binds the strong [man]? And then he will spoil his house.9 He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not gather with me scatters.
