And they come into the house. (20)And the multitude comes together
again, so that they could not even eat bread. (21)And hearing of it,
his kinsmen went out to lay hold of him; for they said: He is beside

(22)And the scribes who came down from Jerusalem said: He has
Beelzebul, and through the prince of the demons he casts out the
