And if I by Beelzebub cast out demons, by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges.
All Commentaries on Matthew 12:27 Go To Matthew 12
Theophylact of Ochrid
AD 1107
Let us suppose, He says, that I am such as you say. But by whom do your sons, that is, My disciples, cast them out? Surely they do not also cast them out by Beelzebub? But if they cast them out by divine power, how much more so do I? For they work miracles in My name. Therefore they will be to your condemnation, since you saw them, too, working miracles in My name, and still you slander Me.
