New International Reader's Version

Matthew 12:24-27 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

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?

27. You say I drive out demons by the power of Beelzebub. Then by whose power do your people drive them out? So then, they will be your judges.
