²⁵ But Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them, Every kingdom divided within itself will be brought to nothing. Neither can any city or household divided against itself continue. ²⁶ So if Satan casts out Satan, then he is divided against himself. How then shall his kingdom endure? ²⁷ Also, if I by the help of Beelzebub cast out devils, by whose help do your children cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges.
