21. The nations will put their hope in him." (Isaiah 42:1-4)
22. A man controlled by demons was brought to Jesus. The man was blind and could not speak. Jesus healed him. Then the man could speak and see.
23. All the people were amazed. They said, "Could this be the Son of David?"
24. The Pharisees heard this. So they said, "This fellow drives out demons by the power of Beelzebub, the prince of demons."
25. Jesus knew what they were thinking. So he said to them, "Every kingdom that fights against itself will be destroyed. Every city or family that is divided against itself will not stand.
26. If Satan drives out Satan, he fights against himself. Then how can his kingdom stand?
