24 “A kingdom divided by civil war will collapse.

Mark 3:24 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 3:24

And if a kingdom be divided against itself
Any of the kingdoms of this world, and the kingdom of "Satan":

that kingdom cannot stand:
not long; its internal broils and divisions will, soon bring it to desolation; (See Gill on Matthew 12:25).

Mark 3:24 In-Context

22 But the teachers of religious law who had arrived from Jerusalem said, “He’s possessed by Satan, the prince of demons. That’s where he gets the power to cast out demons.”
23 Jesus called them over and responded with an illustration. “How can Satan cast out Satan?” he asked.
24 “A kingdom divided by civil war will collapse.
25 Similarly, a family splintered by feuding will fall apart.
26 And if Satan is divided and fights against himself, how can he stand? He would never survive.
