22 Then was brought unto him one possessed with a demon, blind, and dumb, and he healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spoke and saw. 23 And all the people were amazed and said, Is not this the son of David? 24 But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow does not cast out demons but by Beelzebub the prince of the demons. 25 And Jesus knew their thoughts and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself shall not remain; 26 and if Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom remain? 27 And if I by Beelzebub cast out demons, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they shall be your judges. 28 But if I cast out the demons by the Spirit of God, then certainly the kingdom of God is come unto you. 29 Or else how can one enter into the strong man’s house and spoil his goods except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house. 30 He that is not with me is against me, and he that does not gather with me scatters abroad. 31 Therefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven unto men. 32 And whosoever speaks a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him, but whosoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this age, neither in the age to come.
