Matthew 12:25-32

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. ²⁶And if Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand? ²⁷And if I cast out demons by Beelzebul, ^(C)by whom do ^(D)your sons cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges. ²⁸But if it is ^(E)by the Spirit of God that I cast out demons, then ^(F)the kingdom of God has come upon you. ²⁹Or ^(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. ³¹^(J)Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven people, but ^(K)the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. ³²And whoever speaks a word ^(L)against the Son of Man ^(M)will be forgiven, but ^(N)whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in ^(O)this age or in the age to come.
