Mark 3:22-26 ▼

22 The scribes who came down from Jerusalem were saying, “He is possessed by Beelzebul (Satan),” and “He is driving out the demons by the [power of the] ruler of the demons.”

23 So He called them to Himself and spoke to them in parables, “How can Satan drive out Satan?

24 If a kingdom is divided [split into factions and rebelling] against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.

25 And if a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand.

26 And if Satan has risen up against himself and is divided, he cannot stand, but is coming to an end.
