15 But some of them said, “He drives out demons by Beelzebul, the ruler of the demons! ”
16 And others, as a test, were demanding of Him a sign from heaven.
17 Knowing their thoughts, He told them: “Every kingdom divided against itself is headed for destruction, and a house divided against itself falls.
18 If Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say I drive out demons by Beelzebul.
19 And if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, who is it your sons drive them out by? For this reason they will be your judges.
20 If I drive out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come to you.
21 When a strong man, fully armed, guards his estate, his possessions are secure.
