But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, “This man does not cast out demons except by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons.”
This is the reward of my adversaries from the LORD, of those who speak evil against my soul.

As they went out, behold, a mute man who was demon possessed was brought to him.
But the Pharisees said, “By the prince of the demons, he casts out demons.”
The scribes who came down from Jerusalem said, “He has Beelzebul,” and, “By the prince of the demons he casts out the demons.”
He was casting out a demon, and it was mute. When the demon had gone out, the mute man spoke; and the multitudes marvelled.
But some of them said, “He casts out demons by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons.”
