(14)And he was casting out a devil, and it was dumb. And it came to pass, when the devil was gone out, the dumb person spake, and the people marvelled. (15)But some of them said, He casteth out devils by Beelzebub the prince of the devils. (16)But others, tempting him, sought of him a sign from heaven. (17)But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste; and a house against a house, falleth. (18)And if Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom be established? because ye say, that I cast out devils by Beelzebub. (19)But if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges. (20)But if with the finger of God I cast out devils, then, verily the kingdom of God is come unto you. (21)When a strong man, in complete armour, guards his palace, his goods are in peace. (22)But when a stronger person than he coming, vanquisheth him, he takes away his suit of armour in which he confided, and distributes the spoils. (23)He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me, scattereth abroad. (24)When the unclean spirit goeth out of a man, he passes through places destitute of water, seeking repose; and not finding it, saith, I will go back to my habitation from whence I came out: (25)and coming, he findeth it swept and furnished. (26)Then goeth he, and taketh seven other spirits, more wicked than himself; and they entering in, take up their abode there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. (27)And it came to pass as he was speaking these words, a certain woman from among the multitude lift up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the breasts which thou hast sucked. (28)But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they who hear the word of God and observe it. (29)Then the multitudes thronging around him, he began to say, This is a wicked generation: it seeketh a sign, and no sign shall be given it, but the sign of Jonah the prophet. (30)For as Jonas was a sign to the Ninevites, so shall the Son of man also be to this generation. (31)The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment against the men of this generation, and shall condemn them: for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here. (32)The men of Nineveh shall rise up in judgment against this generation, and shall condemn it, for they repented on the preaching of Jonah, and, behold, a greater than Jonah is here.
