16 But some of them said, He casteth out devils through Beelzebub, the chief of the devils.
17 And others tempting, sought of him a sign from heaven.
18 But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided cannot stand, but falleth.
19 If Satan also be divided against himself, how can his kingdom stand? I say this, because you say I cast out devils through Beelzebub.
20 And if I, by Beelzebub, cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast out devils? Therefore shall they be your judges.
21 But if I, with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God has come upon you.
22 When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace;
23 But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him all his armor wherein he trusted and divideth his goods.
24 He that is not with me, is against me; and he who gathereth not with me, scattereth.
25 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, it walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, it saith, I will return unto mine house whence I came out.
26 And when it cometh, it findeth the house swept and garnished.
