“Since,” he says, “I do not cast out the demons by the ruler of the demons — as he showed by saying that every kingdom divided against itself is dissolved and destroyed — then I cast them out by the power of the Spirit, and for that reason the kingdom of God has drawn near.” (Matthew 12:24–28)

Greek

Ἐπειδή, φησίν, οὐκ ἐν τῷ ἄρχοντι τῶν δαιμόνων ἐκβάλλω τὰ δαιμόνια ὡς ἔδειξεν εἰπών, ὅτι πᾶσα βασιλεία καθ' ἑαυτῆς με ρισθεῖσα διαλύεταί τε καὶ φθείρεται, ἐν τῇ δυνάμει τοῦ πνεύματος ἄρα ἐκβάλλω αὐτὰ καὶ διὰ τοῦτο ἤγγικεν ἡ τοῦ θεοῦ βασιλεία.
