Jesus Stood His Ground And Refuted Arguments.
Then they brought him a demon-possessed man who was blind and mute, and Jesus healed him so that he could both talk and see. But when the Pharisees heard this, they said, “It is only by Beelzebul, the prince of demons, that this fellow drives out demons.” Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand.
Matthew 12:22, 24-25 NIV
**Jesus’ ministry was becoming more and more effective through His powerful works that included casting out demons. In order to weaken and if possible stop the work, the Pharisees.
- tried to discredit his work by associating it with Beelzebub, the prince of devils. Bring a wedge between Father and Son by creating an impression that they are not one in the work. Jesus stood His ground and refuted the argument of the Pharisees in totality.
