Marcos 3:23

23 Y llamándolos junto a sí, les hablaba en parábolas: ¿Cómo puede Satanás expulsar a Satanás?

Marcos 3:23 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 3:23

And he called them unto him
The Jerusalem Scribes, to come nearer to him, and attend to what he had to say in defence of his character and miracles:

and said unto them in parables:
similitudes, and proverbial expressions, as the following seem to be,

how can Satan cast out Satan?
or one devil cast out another? how unreasonable is it to suppose it? can it ever be thought that such, whose interest it is to unite, would ever oppose and dispossess one another? if therefore, as if he should say, I am Beelzebub, or have him, and he is in me, and I am in confederacy with him; was this the case, can any think I should ever cast him out of others, as I do?

Marcos 3:23 In-Context

21 Cuando sus parientes oyeron esto, fueron para hacerse cargo de El, porque decían: Está fuera de sí.
22 Y los escribas que habían descendido de Jerusalén decían: Tiene a Beelzebú; y: Expulsa los demonios por el príncipe de los demonios.
23 Y llamándolos junto a sí, les hablaba en parábolas: ¿Cómo puede Satanás expulsar a Satanás?
24 Y si un reino está dividido contra sí mismo, ese reino no puede perdurar.
25 Y si una casa está dividida contra sí misma, esa casa no podrá permanecer.
