But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, “It is only by Beelzebul, the prince of demons, that this man casts out demons.”
And the scribes who came down from Jerusalem were saying, “He is possessed by Beelzebul,” and “by the prince of demons he casts out the demons.”
But the Pharisees said, “He casts out demons by the prince of demons.”
But some of them said, “He casts out demons by Beelzebul, the prince of demons,”
As they were going away, behold, a demon-oppressed man who was mute was brought to him.
It is enough for the disciple to be like his teacher, and the servant like his master. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul, how much more will they malign those of his household.
Now he was casting out a demon that was mute. When the demon had gone out, the mute man spoke, and the people marveled.
May this be the reward of my accusers from the Lord, of those who speak evil against my life!
