Matthew 12:25 Context
23And all the people were amazed, and said, Is this the sonne of Dauid? 24But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doeth not cast out deuils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the deuils. 25And Iesus knew their thoughts, and said vnto them, Euery kingdome diuided against it selfe, is brought to desolation: and euery citie or house diuided against it selfe, shall not stand. 26And if Satan cast out Satan, he is diuided against himselfe; how shall then his kingdome stand? 27And if I by Beelzebub cast out deuils, by whom doe your children cast them out? Therefore they shall be your Iudges.
