²⁴ But when the Pharisees heard this, they said, “It is only by Beelzebul,^(A) the prince of demons, that this fellow drives out demons.”^(B)

²⁷ And if I drive out demons by Beelzebul,^(A) by whom do your people^(B) drive them out? So then, they will be your judges.

²² And the teachers of the law who came down from Jerusalem^(A) said, “He is possessed by Beelzebul!^(B) By the prince of demons he is driving out demons.”^(C)

¹⁵ But some of them said, “By Beelzebul,^(A) the prince of demons, he is driving out demons.”^(B)
