In context

13 If, then, you who are evil are able to give good things to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who make request to him?

14 And he was sending an evil spirit out of a man who was without the power of talking. And it came about that when the spirit had gone the man had the power of talking; and the people were full of wonder.

15 But some of them said, He sends out evil spirits by Beelzebul, the ruler of evil spirits.

16 And others, testing him, were looking for a sign from heaven from him.

17 But he, having knowledge of their thoughts, said to them, Every kingdom in which there is division is made waste; and a house in which there is division comes to destruction.

18 If, then, Satan is at war with himself, how will he keep his kingdom? because you say that I send evil spirits out of men by the help of Beelzebul.

19 And if I, by Beelzebul, send out evil spirits, by whose help do your sons send them out? so let them be your judges.
