* And he was casting out a demon , and it was dumb . And it came to pass , when the demon was gone out , [the one who had been ] dumb spoke ; and the people marvelled . * But some of them said , He casts out devils through Beelzebub the prince of the demons . * And others , tempting [him ], sought of him a sign from heaven . * But he , knowing their thoughts , said unto them , Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation ; and every house or city [divided ] against itself will not remain . * If Satan also is divided against himself , how shall his kingdom stand ? because ye say that I cast out demons through Beelzebub . * And if I by Beelzebub cast out demons , by whom do your sons cast [them ] out ? therefore shall they be your judges . * But if I with the finger of God cast out the demons , certainly the kingdom of God is come upon you . * When an armed strong man keeps his palace , his goods are in peace ; * but when another stronger than he shall come upon him and overcome him , he takes from him all his arms in which he trusted and divides his spoils . * He that is not with me is against me , and he that does not gather with me scatters . * When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man , he walks through dry places , seeking rest ; and finding none , he says , I will return unto my house from which I came out . * And when he comes , he finds [it ] swept and garnished . * Then he goes , and takes [unto him ] seven other spirits more wicked than himself ; and they enter in and dwell there , and the last [state ] of that man is worse than the first . * And it came to pass as he spoke these things , a certain woman of the crowd lifted up her voice and said unto him , Blessed [is ] the womb that bare thee and the breasts which thou hast sucked . * But he said , Rather , blessed [are ] those that hear the word of God and keep it . * And gathering the people unto him , he began to say , This is an evil generation : they seek a sign , and no sign shall be given it but the sign of Jonah the prophet . * For as Jonah was a sign unto the Ninevites , so shall also the Son of man be to this generation . * The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment against the men of this generation and condemn them , for she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon ; and , behold , a greater than Solomon [is ] here . * The men of Nineve shall rise up in the judgment with this generation , and shall condemn it , for they repented at the preaching of Jonah ; and , behold , a greater than Jonah [is ] here . * No one , when he has lighted a lamp , puts [it ] in a secret place , neither under a bushel , but on a lampstand that those who come in may see the light . * The lamp of the body is the eye ; therefore when thine eye is sincere , thy whole body also is full of light ; but when [thine eye ] is evil , thy body also is full of darkness . * Take heed therefore if the light which is in thee is darkness . * If thy whole body therefore [is ] full of light , having no part dark , the whole shall be full of light as when the bright shining of a lamp doth give thee light .
