Read down to the center, where the pattern turns; then rise back out through its mirror.

  • A 22 Then was brought unto him one possessed with a devil, blind, and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spake and saw. 23 And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of David?
    • B 24 But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils.
      • C 25 And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand: 26 And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?
    • B' 27 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges.
  • A' 28 But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you.
