Mark 3:25

25 If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand.

Mark 3:25 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 3:25

And if a house be divided against itself
Any family, small or great,

that house cannot stand;
its contentions and discords will soon bring it down from a comfortable and flourishing situation, to a very distressed one; (See Gill on Matthew 12:25).

Mark 3:25 In-Context

23 So He summoned them and spoke to them in parables: "How can Satan drive out Satan?
24 If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.
25 If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand.
26 And if Satan rebels against himself and is divided, he cannot stand but is finished!
27 "On the other hand, no one can enter a strong man's house and rob his possessions unless he first ties up the strong man. Then he will rob his house.
