all the multitudes were lost in amazement, and they said, Is not this
the son of David? (24)But the Pharisees hearing them, said, This fellow
casteth not out devils, but by Beelzebub, the prince of the devils.
(25)But Jesus knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom
divided against itself will be desolated; and every city, or family,
divided against itself cannot subsist: (26)so if Satan cast out Satan;
he is divided against himself; how then can his kingdom subsist?
(27)And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast
them out? therefore shall they be your judges. (28)But if I by the

(38)Then certain of the scribes and Pharisees addressed him, saying,
Master, we desire to see a sign from thee. (39)But he answered and said
unto them, A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh a sign; and no
sign shall be given it, but the sign of Jonah the prophet: (40)for as
Jonah was in the belly of the whale three days and three nights; so
shall the Son of man be in the heart of the earth three days and three
