New Testament

Matthew 12:19-30 Modern English Version (MEV)

19. He shall not struggle nor cry out,nor will anyone hear His voice in the streets.

20. A bruised reed He will not break,and a smoldering wick He will not quench,until He renders judgment unto victory;

21. and in His name will the Gentiles trust.”

22. Then one possessed with a demon was brought to Him, blind and mute, and He healed him, so that the blind and mute man both spoke and saw.

23. All the people were amazed and said, “Is He not the Son of David?”

24. But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, “This Man does not cast out demons, except by Beelzebub the ruler of the demons.”

25. Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation. And every city or house divided against itself will not stand.

26. If Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself. Then how will his kingdom stand?

27. And if I cast out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore, they shall be your judges.

28. But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.

29. “Or else how can one enter a strong man’s house and plunder his goods unless he first binds the strong man? And then he will plunder his house.

30. “He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters abroad.
