Mark 3:19-29

19 and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Him.
20 And He came 1home, and the 2crowd gathered again, 3to such an extent that they could not even eat a meal.
21 When 4His own people heard of this, they went out to take custody of Him; for they were saying, "5He has lost His senses."
22 The scribes who came down 6from Jerusalem were saying, "He is possessed by 7Beelzebul," and "8He casts out the demons by the ruler of the demons."
23 9And He called them to Himself and began speaking to them in 10parables, "How can 11Satan cast out Satan?
24 "If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot * stand.
25 "If a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand.
26 "If 12Satan has risen up against himself and is divided, he cannot * stand, but he is finished!
27 "13But no one can enter the strong man's house and plunder his property unless * he first binds the strong man, and then he will plunder his house.
28 "14Truly I say to you, all sins shall be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever * blasphemies they utter;
29 but 15whoever * blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never * * has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin "-
