20 He will not break a crushed blade of grass.He will not put out even a weak flame.He will continue until he makes fair judgment win the victory.
21 In him will the nations find hope.” Isaiah 42:1-4
22 Then some people brought a man to Jesus. This man was blind and could not talk, because he had a demon. Jesus healed the man, and the man could talk and see.
23 All the people were amazed. They said, “Perhaps this man is the Son of David!”
24 The Pharisees heard the people saying this. The Pharisees said, “Jesus uses the power of Beelzebul to force demons out of people. Beelzebul is the ruler of demons.”
25 Jesus knew what the Pharisees were thinking. So he said to them, “Every kingdom that is fighting against itself will be destroyed. And every city that is divided will fall. And every family that is divided cannot succeed.
26 So if Satan forces out his own demons, then Satan is divided, and his kingdom will not continue.
