But if I cast out demons by the finger ¹  of God, then the kingdom of God ²  has already overtaken ³  you.

Many of them were saying, “He is possessed by a demon and has lost his mind! ¹  Why do you listen to him?”

Others said, “These are not the words ¹  of someone possessed by a demon. A demon cannot cause the blind to see, ²  can it?” ³ 

You believe that God is one; well and good. ¹  Even the demons believe that – and tremble with fear. ² 

After the demon was cast out, the man who had been mute spoke. The crowds were amazed and said, “Never has anything like this been seen in Israel!”

Then ¹  the seventy-two ²  returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons submit to ³  us in your name!” ⁴ 

So ¹  if ²  Satan too is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? I ask you this because ³  you claim that I cast out demons by Beelzebul.
