15 But some of them said, "Jesus is driving out demons by the power of Beelzebub, the prince of demons."
16 Others put Jesus to the test by asking for a miraculous sign from heaven.
17 Jesus knew what they were thinking. So he said to them, "Any kingdom that fights against itself will be destroyed. A family that is divided against itself will fall.
18 If Satan fights against himself, how can his kingdom stand? "I say this because of what you claim. You say I drive out demons by the power of Beelzebub.
19 Suppose I do drive out demons with Beelzebub's help. With whose help do your followers drive them out? So then, they will be your judges.
20 But suppose I drive out demons with the help of God's powerful finger. Then God's kingdom has come to you.
21 "When a strong man is completely armed and guards his house, what he owns is safe.
