But Jesus
knew their thoughts, and said to them, “Every nation divided by civil war is on
the road to ruin, and will fall. If Satan also is divided, his empire is coming
to an end. How can you say that I drive out demons by calling upon Beelzebul?
If I drive them out by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons drive out demons? They
will be your judges, then.
But if I
drive out demons by the finger of God; would not this mean that the kingdom of
God has come upon you? As long as a man, strong and well armed, guards his
house, his goods are safe. But when a stronger man attacks and overcomes him,
the challenger takes away all the weapons he relied on, and disposes of his
spoils.
Whoever
is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me, scatters.

Himoon gajud bisan uno rakan nan demonyo, mailad lamang an
tawo para modapig sanan mosunod dija. Dinhi sa ato ebanghelyo, tagpatuo nan
demonyo an mga tawo na gikan kan Beelzebul, hepe nan mga demonyo, an gahum ni
Jesus na makadajaw nan may mga sakit.
Pero dili madali-dali pagkadani an mga tawo na motuo sa
demonyo kay hugot man an ila pagtuo na an gahum ni Jesus gikan gajud sa ato Diyos.
