10Because everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.
11And which father among you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if a fish, will he give him a snake instead of a fish?
12Or if he asks for an egg, will he give him a scorpion?
13If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!”
14Then He was casting out a demon, and it was mute. As a result, when the demon had gone out the mute spoke! And the crowds marveled.
15But some of them said, “It's by Beelzebul, the ruler of the demons, that he casts out demons.”
16While others kept asking Him for a sign from heaven, testing.
17But He, knowing their thoughts, said to them: “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and a house divided against itself falls.
18So if Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand?—since you say I cast out demons by Beelzebul!
19Further, if I am casting out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges.
20But if I cast out demons by the finger of God, surely the Kingdom of God has come upon you.
21“When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own dwelling, his possessions are safe.
22But when someone stronger than he attacks, he overcomes him, takes away all his armor in which he trusted, and distributes his spoils.
23“He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not gather with me scatters.
24“Whenever an unclean spirit goes out from a man, it passes through waterless places seeking rest; and not finding any it says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came out.’
25And coming it finds it swept and put in order.
26Then it goes and picks up seven other spirits, more malignant than itself, and they go in and live there; so the last state of that man becomes worse than the first.”
27And then, as He was saying these things, a woman in the crowd raised her voice and said to Him, “Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts that you sucked!”
