24 If a country divides itself into groups which fight each other, that country will fall apart.
25 If a family divides itself into groups which fight each other, that family will fall apart.
26 So if Satan's kingdom divides into groups, it cannot last, but will fall apart and come to an end.

28 “I assure you that people can be forgiven all their sins and all the evil things they may say.
29 But whoever says evil things against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven, because he has committed an eternal sin.” (
30 Jesus said this because some people were saying, “He has an evil spirit in him.”)
