Matthew 9:35

"But the Pharisees said, “By the prince of the demons, he casts out demons.”"

Key Reflection

The Pharisees' accusation aimed to discredit Jesus by associating his miraculous powers with demonic influence, suggesting he was using Satanic power rather than relying on God. This charge reflects the religious and political tensions of the time, highlighting the opposition Jesus faced from those who rejected his divine authority.
