  • Matt 12:24-35 : 24 But when the Pharisees heard this, they said, 'This man drives out demons only by Beelzebul, the ruler of the demons.' 25 Knowing their thoughts, Jesus said to them, 'Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to ruin, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand.' 26 If Satan drives out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then can his kingdom stand? 27 And if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons drive them out? Therefore, they will be your judges. 28 But if I drive out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you. 29 Or how can anyone enter a strong man's house and carry off his possessions unless he first ties up the strong man?

It is because you cannot bear to hear my word. 44 You are from your father, the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies. 45 But because I tell you the truth, you do not believe me. 46 Who among you can convict me of sin? If I am telling the truth, why don’t you believe me? 47 The one who is from God listens to God’s words. This is why you do not listen, because you are not from God.
