23. And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of David?
22, 23. This people were so astonished to see his works, that they said, Sure this is the Messiah the son of David.
24. But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beel-zebub the prince of the devils. 25. And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said to them, Every kingdom divided against it self is brought to desolation; and every city and house divided against it self shall not s•and. 26. And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself: how then shall his kingdom stand.
24, &c. The Pharisees could not deny the matter of fact, it being notorious, and therefore they had no shift left for their unbelief, but saying, that All such works are not of God; The Prince of Devils to deceive the people, giveth him power to cast out devils, and do his miracles. But Christ said, If the Devil have a Kingdom, he hath wit to preserve it; Is it the Devils work to do good to mens Souls and Bodies? If holy doctrine, and casting out […] and healing the diseased, be against Satan […], then he is against himself, if he be […]. Kingdom, City or House will not stand […] vidd and fight against it self.
