    • B 15-16 But some of them said, He casteth out devils through Beelzebub the chief of the devils. And others, tempting him, sought of him a sign from heaven.
      • C 17a But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation;
        • D 17b and a house divided against a house falleth.
      • C' 18a If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand?
    • B' 18b-19 because ye say that I cast out devils through Beelzebub. And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges.
