15. But some of them said, By Beelzebub the prince of the devils casteth he out devils.
16. And others, tempting him, sought of him a sign from heaven.
17. But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a house falleth.
18. And if Satan also is divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out devils by Beelzebub.
19. And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges.
20. But if I by the finger of God cast out devils, then is the kingdom of God come upon you.
21. When the strong man fully armed guardeth his own court, his goods are in peace:
22. but when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him his whole armour wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils.
23. He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth.
