## Matthew 12:27-28 in Context (Verses 24–31 KJV)
 
 [24 ](/kjv/matthew/12/24) But when the Pharisees heard *it*, they said, This *fellow* doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils.
 
 [25 ](/kjv/matthew/12/25) And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:
 
 [26 ](/kjv/matthew/12/26) And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?
 
 [27 ](/kjv/matthew/12/27) And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast *them* out? therefore they shall be your judges.
 
 [28 ](/kjv/matthew/12/28) But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you.
 
 [29 ](/kjv/matthew/12/29) Or else how can one enter into a strong man’s house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house.
 
 [30 ](/kjv/matthew/12/30) He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.
 
 [31 ](/kjv/matthew/12/31) ¶ Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy *against* the *Holy* Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.
 
[Matthew 11](/kjv/matthew/11) [Matthew 13](/kjv/matthew/13)
