Contextual Overview

22 And the Scribes which came downe fro Hierusalem, saide, He hath Beelzebub, & through the prince of the deuils he casteth out deuils. 23 But he called them vnto him, and said vnto them in parables, How can Satan driue out Sata? 24 For if a kingdome bee deuided against it selfe, that kingdome can not stand. 25 Or if a house bee deuided against it selfe, that house can not continue. 26 So if Satan make insurrection against himselfe, and be deuided, hee can not endure but is at an ende. 27 No man can enter into a strong mans house, and take away his goods, except hee first binde that strong man, and then spoyle his house. 28 Verely I say vnto you, all sinnes shalbe forgiuen vnto the children of men, and blasphemies, wherewith they blaspheme: 29 But hee that blasphemeth against the holy Ghost, shall neuer haue forgiuenesse, but is culpable of eternall damnation. 30 Because they saide, Hee had an vncleane spirit.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

And the scribes ... - See the notes at Matthew 12:24-32. The occasion of their saying this was, that he had healed a man possessed with a devil. The scribes, who came from Jerusalem to watch his conduct, charged him with having made a compact or agreement with the prince of the devils.
