Accusations of Beelzebul and the Parable of the Strong Man
Mark 3:20-30
20And he comes into the house, and the crowd assembles again, so that they are not able even to eat bread.21And those beside him, having heard, went out to seize him, for they were saying that he is out of his mind.22And the scribes who had come down from Jerusalem said that he has Beelzebul and that he expels the demons by the ruler of the demons.23And having called them he said to them in parables, How is Satan able to expel Satan?24And if a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom is not able to stand.25And if a home is divided against itself, that home will not be able to stand.26And if Satan has risen against himself and is divided, he is not able to stand but has an end.27But no one is able, having entered the home of the strong man, to plunder his vessels, unless he first binds the strong man, and then he will plunder his home.28Amen, I say to you that all sins and whatever blasphemies they may blaspheme will be forgiven the sons of men.29But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit has no forgiveness forever, but is guilty of an eternal sin.30For they said, He has an unclean spirit.
