Contextual Overview
22 And coming down from Jerusalem, the scribes said, He has Beelzebub; and He casts out demons by the ruler of the demons. 23 And calling them near, He spoke to them in parables, saying , How can Satan cast out Satan? 24 And if a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. 25 And if a house is divided against itself, that house is not able to stand. 26 And if Satan rises upon himself, and has been divided, he is not able to stand, but he has an end. 27 No one, not any , having entered into his house, is able to plunder the vessels of the strong one, unless he first tie up the strong one; and then he will plunder his house. 28 Truly I say to you, All the sins will be forgiven to the sons of men, and whatever blasphemies they have blasphemed; 29 but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit has no remission unto the age, but is liable to eternal judgment 30 (because they said, He has an unclean spirit).
