Matthew 12:27-29

Good News Translation

²⁷ You say that I drive out demons because Beelzebul gives me the power to do so. Well, then, who gives your followers the power to drive them out? What your own followers do proves that you are wrong! ²⁸ No, it is not Beelzebul, but God's Spirit, who gives me the power to drive out demons, which proves that the Kingdom of God has already come upon you.

^29 (A)“No one can break into a strong man's house and take away his belongings unless he first ties up the strong man; then he can plunder his house.
