16. Others put Jesus to the test by asking for a miraculous sign from heaven.
17. Jesus knew what they were thinking. So he said to them, "Any kingdom that fights against itself will be destroyed. A family that is divided against itself will fall.
18. If Satan fights against himself, how can his kingdom stand? "I say this because of what you claim. You say I drive out demons by the power of Beelzebub.
19. Suppose I do drive out demons with Beelzebub's help. With whose help do your followers drive them out? So then, they will be your judges.
20. But suppose I drive out demons with the help of God's powerful finger. Then God's kingdom has come to you.
