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.
20 But if I cast out demons awith the finger of God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you.  
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.  
23 aHe who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters.
