“All the people were astonished and said, “Could this be the Son of David?” But when the Pharisees heard this, they said, “It is only by Beelzebul, the prince of demons, that this fellow drives out demons.” Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand.” Matthew 12:23-25 NIV
- Jesus drives out demons by the power of God.
- Jesus is the promised Messiah
- Jesus was blasphemed by religious people who ended up accusing him of blasphemy.
“But if it is by the Spirit of God that I drive out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.” Matthew 12:28 NIV
thy Kingdom come, thy will be done
