Contextual Overview

²²The religious experts came all the way from Jerusalem, but they said he was possessed by the devil and that is how he was able to cast out the demons. ²³So Jesus called them all around and told them stories. "How can the devil cast out the devil? ²⁴A cowboy divided against himself ropes no cattle. ²⁵A person against himself has come to his end. ²⁶If Satan double-crosses himself, he can't survive. ²⁷But no one can steal a ranch's cattle unless he first ties up the cowboy watching over it. Then they can rustle anything they find. ²⁸"I'm telling you straight, every wrong can be forgiven, ²⁹but anyone who rejects the love of God and attributes the Holy Spirit's work to the devil, that person's sin will not be forgiven." ³⁰He said all this because they were accusing him of being possessed by a demon.
