And if I cast out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges. The second argument against the Beelzebul charge: the Pharisees' own disciples also performed exorcisms. If exorcism by demonic power is the charge against Jesus, it must also apply to the Jewish exorcists the Pharisees approve of. The your sons will be your judges communicates the logical self-condemnation of the charge: the standard the Pharisees apply to Jesus condemns their own community's practice.
