can Satan throw Satan out? 24A kingdom involved in civil war will collapse.
25
And a house torn apart by divisions will collapse. 26If Satan rebels against
himself and is divided, then he can’t endure. He’s done for. 27No one gets into
the house of a strong person and steals anything without first tying up the
strong person. Only then can the house be burglarized. 28I assure you that

him, calling for him. 32A crowd was seated around him, and those sent to him

brothers. 35Whoever does God’s will is my brother, sister, and mother.”
Pastor: This is the Word of the Lord.
People: Thanks be to God.

The legal experts came down from Jerusalem. Over and over they charged,
“He’s possessed by Beelzebul. He throws out demons with the authority of the
ruler of demons.”

When Jesus called them together he spoke to them in a parable:” How
