Matthew 12 — Context

22

Jesus and Beelzebul Then they brought to him a demon-possessed man who was blind and mute. Jesus healed him so that he could speak and see.

23

All the crowds were amazed and said,“Could this one be the Son of David?”

24

But when the Pharisees heard this they said,“He does not cast out demons except by the power of Beelzebul, the ruler of demons!”

25

Now when Jesus realized what they were thinking, he said to them,“Every kingdom divided against itself is destroyed, and no town or house divided against itself will stand.

26

So if Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand?

27

And if I cast out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons cast them out? For this reason they will be your judges.

28

But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has already overtaken you.
