Then the Pharisees and some of the scribes came together to Him, having come from Jerusalem.

Then the scribes and Pharisees who were from Jerusalem came to Jesus, saying,

Now it happened on a certain day, as He was teaching, that there were Pharisees and teachers of the law sitting by, who had come out of every town of Galilee, Judea, and Jerusalem. And the power of the Lord was [present] to heal them.

But I [am] a worm, and no man; A reproach of men, and despised by the people.

But the Pharisees said, "He casts out demons by the ruler of the demons."

"It is enough for a disciple that he be like his teacher, and a servant like his master. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more [will they call] those of his household!

Now when the Pharisees heard [it] they said, "This [fellow] does not cast out demons except by Beelzebub, the ruler of the demons."

But some of them said, "He casts out demons by Beelzebub, the ruler of the demons."

The people answered and said, "You have a demon. Who is seeking to kill You?"

Then the Jews answered and said to Him, "Do we not say rightly that You are a Samaritan and have a demon?"

Then the Jews said to Him, "Now we know that You have a demon! Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and You say, 'If anyone keeps My word he shall never taste death.'

Now it was the Feast of Dedication in Jerusalem, and it was winter.
