Matthew 12:24-26

Easy-to-Read Version

²⁴ When the Pharisees heard this, they said, “This man uses the power of Satan^[a] to force demons out of people. Satan is the ruler of demons.”

²⁵ Jesus knew what the Pharisees were thinking. So he said to them, “Every kingdom that fights against itself will be destroyed. And every city or family that is divided against itself will not survive. ²⁶ So if Satan forces out his own demons,^[b] then he is fighting against himself, and his kingdom will not survive.
