Raw Blame History

Beelzebul

This name refers to the same person as "Satan" (verse 26).

by whom do your sons drive them out?

Jesus uses another question to challenge the Pharisees. Alternate translation: "then you must say your followers also drive out demons by the power of Beelzebul. But, you know this is not true." (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion)

your sons

Jesus was speaking to the Pharisees. The phrase "your sons" refers to their followers. This was a common way of referring to those who follow teachers or leaders. Alternate translation: "your followers" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)

For this reason they will be your judges

"Because your followers cast out demons by the power of God, they prove that you are wrong about me."
