Pharisees’ Blasphemy

^14 (A)And He was casting out a mute demon; when the demon had gone out, the man who was previously unable to speak talked, and the crowds were amazed. ¹⁵ But some of them said, “He casts out the demons ^(B)by ^(C)Beelzebul, the ruler of the demons.”

The Pharisees Rebuked

^22 (A)Then a ^(B)demon-possessed man who was blind and unable to speak was brought to ^[a]Jesus, and He healed him so that the man who was unable to speak talked and ^[b]could see.

²⁴ But when the Pharisees heard this, they said, “This man ^(A)casts out demons only by ^[a]Beelzebul the ruler of the demons.”

³² And as they were going out, behold, ^(A)a ^(B)demon-possessed man who was unable to speak ^[a]was brought to Him. ³³ And after the demon was cast out, the man who was previously unable to speak talked; and the crowds were amazed, and were saying, “^(C)Nothing like this has ever ^[b]been seen in Israel.” ³⁴ But the Pharisees were saying, “He ^(D)casts out the demons by the ruler of the demons.”
