ParablesThe Strong Man
3 accounts of this passage
Mark 3:22–27
22The scribes who came down from Jerusalem said, "He has Beelzebub, and by the prince of the devils he casts out devils." 23So Jesus called them over and spoke to them in parables: "How can Satan drive out Satan?" 24If a kingdom fights against itself, that kingdom can't survive. 25If a household is torn apart by conflict, that household won't last. 26So if Satan has turned against himself and is divided, he can't stand either — his end has come. 27No one can break into a strong man's house and steal his possessions unless he first ties up the strong man. Only then can he ransack the house.
