Matthew 12:24-30

24 But when the Pharisees heard this, they said, "This man ¹casts out demons only * * by Beelzebul the ruler of the demons."

25 ²And ³knowing their thoughts Jesus said to them, "Any kingdom divided against itself is laid waste; and any city or house divided against itself will not stand.

26 "If ⁴Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself; how then will his kingdom stand?

27 "If I ⁵by Beelzebul cast out demons, ⁶by whom do your sons cast them out? For this * reason * they will be your judges.

28 "But ⁷if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.

29 "Or how can anyone enter the strong man's house and carry off his property, unless * he first binds the strong man? And then he will plunder his house.

The Unpardonable Sin

30 "⁸He who is not with Me is against Me; and he who does not gather with Me scatters.
