Then he went home; and the crowd came together again, so that they could not even eat. And when his family heard it, they went out to seize him, for people were saying, \u201cHe is beside himself.\u201d And the scribes who came down from Jerusalem said, \u201cHe is possessed by Be-el\u2032zebul, and by the prince of demons he casts out the demons.\u201d And he called them to him, and said to them in parables, \u201cHow can Satan cast out Satan? If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. And if a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand. And if Satan has risen up against himself and is divided, he cannot stand, but is coming to an end. But no one can enter a strong man\u2019s house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man; then indeed he may plunder his house.<\/p>\n
\u201cTruly, I say to you, all sins will be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever blasphemies they utter; but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin\u201d\u2014 for they had said, \u201cHe has an unclean spirit.\u201d<\/p>\n
And his mother and his brothers came; and standing outside they sent to him and called him. And a crowd was sitting about him; and they said to him, \u201cYour mother and your brothers are outside, asking for you.\u201d And he replied, \u201cWho are my mother and my brothers?\u201d And looking around on those who sat about him, he said, \u201cHere are my mother and my brothers! Whoever does the will of God is my brother, and sister, and mother.\u201d<\/p>\n
