Contextual Overview
22 Some teachers of the Law of Moses came from Jerusalem and said, "This man is under the power of Beelzebul, the ruler of demons! He is even forcing out demons with the help of Beelzebul." 23 Jesus told the people to gather around him. Then he spoke to them in riddles and said: How can Satan force himself out? 24 A nation whose people fight each other won't last very long. 25 And a family that fights won't last long either. 26 So if Satan fights against himself, that will be the end of him. 27 How can anyone break into the house of a strong man and steal his things, unless he first ties up the strong man? Then he can take everything. 28 I promise you that any of the sinful things you say or do can be forgiven, no matter how terrible those things are. 29 But if you speak against the Holy Spirit, you can never be forgiven. That sin will be held against you forever. 30 Jesus said this because the people were saying that he had an evil spirit in him.
