Scripture:

Mark 3:20-30

Jesus Accused by His Family and by Teachers of the Law

^20 Then Jesus entered a house, and again a crowd gathered, so that he and his disciples were not even able to eat. ^21 When his family^[a] heard about this, they went to take charge of him, for they said, “He is out of his mind.”

^22 And the teachers of the law who came down from Jerusalem said, “He is possessed by Beelzebul! By the prince of demons he is driving out demons.”

^23 So Jesus called them over to him and began to speak to them in parables: “How can Satan drive out Satan? ^24 If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. ^25 If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand. ^26 And if Satan opposes himself and is divided, he cannot stand; his end has come. ^27 In fact, no one can enter a strong man’s house without first tying him up. Then he can plunder the strong man’s house. ^28 Truly I tell you, people can be forgiven all their sins and every slander they utter, ^29 but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; they are guilty of an eternal sin.”

^30 He said this because they were saying, “He has an impure spirit.”
