 (Matthew 6.9-13; 7.7-11) 2So Jesus told them, “Pray in this
way: ‘Father, help us to honor your name. Come and set up your
kingdom. 3Give us each day 4Forgive our sins, as we forgive
everyone who has done wrong to us. And keep us from being
tempted.’ ” 5Then Jesus went on to say: Jesus and the Ruler of
Demons (Matthew 12.22-30; Mark 3.20-27) 14Jesus forced a demon
out of a man who could not talk. And after the demon had gone
out, the man started speaking, and the crowds were amazed. 15#Mt
9.34Mt 10.25 But some people said, “He forces out demons by the
power of Beelzebul, the ruler of the demons!” 16 # Mt 12.38Mt
16.1Mk 8.11 Others wanted to put Jesus to the test. So they
asked him to show them a sign from God. 17Jesus knew what they
were thinking, and he said: 21When a strong man arms himself and
guards his home, everything he owns is safe. 22But if a stronger
man comes and defeats him, he will carry off the weapons in
which the strong man trusted. Then he will divide with others
what he has taken. 23#Mk 9.4
