* And He was casting out a demon , and it was mute . So it was , when the demon came out , that the mute man spoke ; and the crowds marveled . * But some of them said , "He casts out demons by Beelzebub , the ruler of the demons ." * But others , testing [Him ,] were seeking from Him a sign from heaven . * But He , knowing their thoughts , said to them : "Every kingdom divided against itself is made desolate , and a house divided against a house falls . * And if Satan also is divided against himself , how will his kingdom stand ? Because you say [that ]I cast out demons by Beelzebub . * And if I cast out demons by Beelzebub , by whom do your sons cast [them ] out ? Therefore they will be your judges . * But if I cast out demons by the finger of God , then the kingdom of God has come upon you . * When a strong man , fully armed , guards his own palace , his possessions are in peace . * But when someone stronger [than ] he comes upon [him ,] he overcomes him , [and ]he takes away his full armor in which he had trusted , and distributes his spoils . * He who is not with Me is against Me , and he who does not gather with Me scatters . * "When an unclean spirit goes out of a man , he goes through waterless places , seeking rest ; and not finding [any ], he says , 'I will return to my house from where I came out .' * And coming , he finds it swept and adorned . * Then he goes and takes along seven other spirits more wicked than himself , and they come and dwell there ; and the last state of that man is worse than the first ."
