Matthew 12:27 in Context — Matthew 12

25 Comme Jésus connaissait leurs pensées, il leur dit: Tout royaume divisé contre lui-même est dévasté, et toute ville ou maison divisée contre elle-même ne peut subsister.

26 Si Satan chasse Satan, il est divisé contre lui-même; comment donc son royaume subsistera-t-il?

27 Et si moi, je chasse les démons par Béelzébul, vos fils, par qui les chassent-ils? C’est pourquoi ils seront eux-mêmes vos juges.

28 Mais, si c’est par l’Esprit de Dieu que je chasse les démons, le royaume de Dieu est donc venu vers vous.

29 Ou, comment quelqu’un peut-il entrer dans la maison d’un homme fort et piller ses biens, sans avoir auparavant lié cet homme fort? Alors seulement il pillera sa maison.
