When a kingdom is divided against itself, it cannot last;
Jesus, however, was aware of what was passing in their minds, and said to them: "Any kingdom divided against itself becomes a desolation, and any town or household divided against itself will not last.
So Jesus called them to him, and answered them in parables: "How can Satan drive out Satan?
And when a household is divided against itself, it will not be able to last.
That they all may be one--that as thou, Father, art in union with us--and so the world may believe that thou hast sent me as thy Messenger.
