Matthew 12:27-29

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

²⁷ If I cast out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your own exorcists^[a] cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges.^{(A) 28} But if it is by the Spirit of God that I cast out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.^{(B) 29} Or how can one enter a strong man’s house and plunder his property without first tying up the strong man? Then indeed the house can be plundered.
