23. Jesus told the people to gather around him. Then he spoke to them in riddles and said:How can Satan force himself out?
24. A nation whose people fight each other won't last very long.
25. And a family that fights won't last long either.
26. So if Satan fights against himself, that will be the end of him.
27. How can anyone break into the house of a strong man and steal his things, unless he first ties up the strong man? Then he can take everything.
28. I promise you that any of the sinful things you say or do can be forgiven, no matter how terrible those things are.
