Contextual Overview
22 The Torah-teachers who came down from Yerushalayim said, "He has Ba‘al-Zibbul in him," and "It is by the ruler of the demons that he expels the demons." 23 But he called them and spoke to them in parables: "How can Satan expel Satan? 24 If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom can't survive; 25 and if a household is divided against itself, that household can't survive. 26 So if Satan has rebelled against himself and is divided, he can't survive either; and that's the end of him. 27 Furthermore, no one can break into a strong man's house and make off with his possessions unless he first ties up the strong man. After that, he can ransack his house. 28 Yes! I tell you that people will be forgiven all sins and whatever blasphemies they utter; 29 however, someone who blasphemes against the Ruach HaKodesh never has forgiveness but is guilty of an eternal sin." 30 For they had been saying, "He has an unclean spirit in him."
