Matthew 12:25-30

English Standard Version

^25 (A)Knowing their thoughts, ^(B)he said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste, and no city or house divided against itself will stand. ²⁶ And if Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand? ²⁷ And if I cast out demons by Beelzebul, ^(C)by whom do ^(D)your sons cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges. ²⁸ But if it is ^(E)by the Spirit of God that I cast out demons, then ^(F)the kingdom of God has come upon you. ²⁹ Or ^(G)how can someone enter a strong man's house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man? Then indeed ^(H)he may plunder his house. ^30 (I)Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters.
