Matthew 12:23-25

Good News Translation

²³ The crowds were all amazed at what Jesus had done. “Could he be the Son of David?” they asked.

^24 (A)When the Pharisees heard this, they replied, “He drives out demons only because their ruler Beelzebul gives him power to do so.”

²⁵ Jesus knew what they were thinking, and so he said to them, “Any country that divides itself into groups which fight each other will not last very long. And any town or family that divides itself into groups which fight each other will fall apart.
