Matthew12:22-32
Jesus is challenged by the Pharisees about his ability to cast out demons (the occasion being the cure of the man who was blind and dumb). He proceeds to question their ability as they themselves have cast out demons (something that was quite common in the ancient world)
If Jesus is of Satan then Satan's kingdom is divided and nowhere near as powerful but if he casts out demons then surely this should be a recognition that the Kingdom of God has come. The charge against the Pharisees is hypocrisy.
