Contemporary English Version
23 The crowds were so amazed they asked, “Could Jesus be the Son of David?”[a]
24 (A) When the Pharisees heard this, they said, “He forces out demons by the power of Beelzebul, the ruler of the demons!”
25 Jesus knew what they were thinking, so he said to them:
Any kingdom where people fight each other will end up ruined. And a town or family that fights will soon destroy itself.
