And the scribes who came down from Jerusalem said, "He hath Beelzebub, and by the prince of devils he casteth out devils."

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

And it came to pass on a certain day, as He was teaching, that there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, who had come from every town of Galilee and Judea and Jerusalem. And the power of the Lord was present to heal them.

And as He said these things unto them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to press Him vehemently and to provoke Him to speak of many things,

lying in wait for Him and seeking to catch something out of His mouth, that they might accuse Him.
