Matthew 12:25

Matthew 12:25

23 And all the multitudes were amazed and said, “Could this be the ^aSon of David?”

24 ^aNow when the Pharisees heard it they said, “This fellow does not cast out demons except by¹ Beelzebub, the ruler of the demons.”

25 But Jesus ^aknew their thoughts, and said to them: “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand.

26 If Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand?

27 And if I cast out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they shall be your judges.

28 But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, ^asurely the kingdom of God has come upon you.

29 ^aOr how can one enter a strong man’s house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man? And then he will plunder his house.

30 He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters abroad.

Matthew 12:25 Knew their thoughts. They had not made this charge to Christ, but to the multitudes. Every city or house divided against itself. A general truth is stated. Most states and kingdoms fall, not by the power of foreign enemies, but by the weakness due to divisions.
