They also kept driving out many demons and anointing with oil many who were sick, and healing them.

If I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your own followers drive them out? That is why they will be your judges!

But if I drive out demons by the power of God, then the kingdom of God has come to you.

He told them, "Go and tell that fox, "Listen! I am driving out demons and healing today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will finish my work.
