And if Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? etc.] This is the accommodation of the above parables, or proverbial sentences; suggesting, that Satan must be against himself, if what the Pharisees said was true; and consequently, his kingdom and government, could not long subsist: because ye say that I cast out devils through Beelzebub; which is all one as to say, that Satan is divided against himself, which is not reasonable to suppose; (see Gill on “<401226>Matthew 12:26”) and (see Gill on “<410326>Mark 3:26”).
