13 If you then, being evil, know how to give agood gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!”
A House Divided Cannot Stand
14 aAnd He was casting out a demon, and it was mute. So it was, when the demon had gone out, that the mute spoke; and the multitudes marveled.
15 But some of them said, a“He casts out demons by Beelzebub, the ruler of the demons.”
16 Others, testing Him, asought from Him a sign from heaven.
17 aBut bHe, knowing their thoughts, said to them: “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and a house divided against a house falls.
18 If Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? Because you say I cast out demons by Beelzebub.
19 And if I cast out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges.
21 aWhen a strong man, fully armed, guards his own palace, his goods are in peace.
22 But awhen a stronger than he comes upon him and overcomes him, he takes from him all his armor in which he trusted, and divides his1 spoils.
