- The Pharisees accused Jesus of doing miracles by the power of a false god called Beelzebub. Jesus said, "If I by Beelzebub cast out demons, by whom do your children cast them out?" (Matthew 12:27). 2 Kings 1:2. clearly tells us that Beelzebub was a false god of the Philistines. Jesus did not say, 'Now look, 2 Kings 1:2 says Beelzebub was a false god, so your accusation cannot be true'. No, he spoke as if Beelzebub existed, because he was interested in getting his message through to the people to whom he preached.
Mafarisayo walimshutumu Yesu kufanya miujiza kwa nguvu za Mungu wa uongo aitwaye Beelzebuli. Yesu alisema "Na mimi nikitoka pepo kwa Beelzebuli, Je! wana wenu watoa kwa nani?"(Math. 12: 27). Kitabu cha 2 Fal. 1:2. kwa kubainisha kinatuambia kwamba Beelzebuli alikuwa ni Mungu potofu wa Wafilisiti. Yesu hakusema, 'Sasa tazama, 2 Wafalme 1: 2 kinasema Baal-zebubu alikuwa mungu wa uongo, hivyo mashutumu yenu hayawezi kuwa ya kweli’. Hapana, alisema kana kwamba Beelzebuli aliishi, kwa sababu alipendezwa kuupata ujumbe wake kwa kupitia kwa watu ambao aliwahubiri habari njema.
