22 Then a blind and dumb demoniac was brought to him, and he healed him, so that the dumb man spoke and saw. 
23 And all the people were amazed, and said, "Can this be the Son of David?"  24 But when the Pharisees heard it they said, "It is only by Be-elzebul, the prince of demons, that this man casts out demons."  25 Knowing their thoughts, he said to them, "Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste, and no city or house divided against itself will stand; 26 and if Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself; how then will his kingdom stand?  27 And if I cast out demons by Be-elzebul, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they shall be your judges.  28 But if it is by the Spirit of God that I cast out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you. 
29 Or how can one enter a strong man's house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man? Then indeed he may plunder his house.  30 He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not gather with me scatters. 
31 Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.  32 And whoever says a word against the Son of man will be forgiven; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come.  33 "Either make the tree good, and its fruit good; or make the tree bad, and its fruit bad; for the tree is known by its fruit.  34 You brood of vipers! how can you speak good, when you are evil? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. 
35 The good man out of his good treasure brings forth good, and the evil man out of his evil treasure brings forth evil.  36 I tell you, on the day of judgment men will render account for every careless word they utter; 37 for by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned."

19b Then he went home; 
20 and the crowd came together again, so that they could not even eat.  21 And when his family heard it, they went out to seize him, for people were saying, "He is beside himself."  22 And the scribes who came down from Jerusalem said, "He is possessed by Be-elzebul, and by the prince of demons he casts out the demons."  23 And he called them to him, and said to them in parables, "How can Satan cast out Satan?  24 If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. 
25 And if a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand. 26 And if Satan has risen up against himself and is divided, he cannot stand, but is coming to an end.  27 But no one can enter a strong man's house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man; then indeed he may plunder his house.  28 "Truly, I say to you, all sins will be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever blasphemies they utter; 29 but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin"--30 for they had said, "He has an unclean spirit."
