¹⁹ Therefore ^(A)there was a division again among the Jews because of these sayings. ²⁰ And many of them said, ^(B)“He has a demon and is ^[a]mad. Why do you listen to Him?”

²¹ Others said, “These are not the words of one who has a demon. ^(C)Can a demon ^(D)open the eyes of the blind?”

^24 (A)Now when the Pharisees heard it they said, “This fellow does not cast out demons except by ^[a]Beelzebub, the ruler of the demons.”

³⁴ But the Pharisees said, ^(A)“He casts out demons by the ruler of the demons.”

²⁵ It is enough for a disciple that he be like his teacher, and a servant like his master. If ^(A)they have called the master of the house ^[a]Beelzebub, how much more will they call those of his household!

²² And the scribes who came down from Jerusalem said, ^(A)“He has Beelzebub,” and, “By the ^(B)ruler of the demons He casts out demons.”
