Mark 3:26

26 And if Satan is against himself and fights against his own people, he cannot continue; that is the end of Satan.

Mark 3:26 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 3:26

And if Satan rise up against himself
As he must do in such a case as this, if devils are cast out by Beelzebub, the prince of devils:

and be divided;
one devil against another, as the above calumny supposes;

he cannot stand, but hath an end:
his kingdom cannot stand long, but must soon come to an end; his power and authority will soon be destroyed, both over his own species, and among men; (See Gill on Matthew 12:26).

Mark 3:26 In-Context

24 A kingdom that is divided cannot continue,
25 and a family that is divided cannot continue.
26 And if Satan is against himself and fights against his own people, he cannot continue; that is the end of Satan.
27 No one can enter a strong person's house and steal his things unless he first ties up the strong person. Then he can steal things from the house.
28 I tell you the truth, all sins that people do and all the things people say against God can be forgiven.
