from one who was dumb, it resulted that when the demon had departed, the dumb man spoke; and the crowd were astonished. But some of them He casts out demons by the help of Beelzebul, the prince of Others, in order to test, demanded a sign out of Heaven from Him. But He, knowing their machinadons, said to them: ‘ Every kingdom divided against

itself is desolated; and house divided against house, falls. If, then, Satan is divided against himself, how can his kingdom be strengthened? Yet you assert that I expel demons through

ng the help of Beelzebul. But if I by Beelzebul expel the demons, by whose power do your own sons expel them? By this they shall be your judges.

it in a cellar,_nor underneath the com- measure; but upon the lamp-stand, so that those entering the house may see the light. The eye is the lamp of the body: when your eye is in good condition, your whole body also is enlightened; but when it is diseased, then your body is darkened.
