15 But some of them said, “He casts out demons through Beelzebub, the ruler of the demons.”
16 Others, testing Him, asked Him for a sign from heaven.
17 But He, knowing their thoughts, said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is made desolate. And a house divided against itself falls.
18 If Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say that I cast out demons through Beelzebub.
19 Now if I cast out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges.
20 But if I cast out demons with the finger of God, no doubt the kingdom of God has come upon you.
21 “When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own palace, his goods are peacefully kept.
