Luke 11:11-17
English Standard Version
11 What father among you, if his son asks for[a] a fish, will instead of a fish give him a serpent; 12 or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? 13 If you then, (A)who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father (B)give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”
Jesus and Beelzebul
14 (C)Now he was casting out a demon that was mute. When the demon had gone out, the mute man spoke, and the people marveled. 15 But some of them said, “He casts out demons (D)by Beelzebul, the prince of demons,” 16 while others, (E)to test him, kept seeking from him a sign from heaven. 17 (F)But he, (G)knowing their thoughts, said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste, and a divided household falls.
