* And he was casting out a demon , and it was dumb ; and it came to pass , the demon being gone out , the dumb [man ] spoke . And the crowds wondered . * But some from among them said , By Beelzebub the prince of the demons casts he out demons . * And others tempting [him ] sought from him a sign out of heaven . * But he , knowing their thoughts , said to them , Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation : and a house set against a house falls ; * and if also Satan is divided against himself , how shall his kingdom subsist ? because ye say that I cast out demons by Beelzebub . * But if I by Beelzebub cast out demons , your sons -- by whom do they cast [them ] out ? For this reason they shall be your judges . * But if by the finger of God I cast out demons , then the kingdom of God is come upon you . * When the strong [man ] armed keeps his own house , his goods are in peace ; * but when the stronger than he coming upon [him ] overcomes him , he takes away his panoply in which he trusted , and he will divide the spoil [he has taken ] from him . * He that is not with me is against me , and he that gathers not with me scatters . * When the unclean spirit has gone out of the man , he goes through dry places seeking rest ; and not finding [any ] he says , I will return to my house whence I came out . * And having come , he finds it swept and adorned . * Then he goes and takes seven other spirits worse than himself , and entering in , they dwell there ; and the last condition of that man becomes worse than the first . * And it came to pass as he spake these things , a certain woman , lifting up her voice out of the crowd , said to him , Blessed is the womb that has borne thee , and the paps which thou hast sucked . * But he said , Yea rather , blessed are they who hear the word of God and keep [it ].
