{In parables} (en parabolais). In crisp pungent thrusts
that exposed the inconsistencies of the scribes and Pharisees.
See on 烘t 13| for discussion of the word {parable} (parabol(885c),
placing beside for comparison). These short parabolic quips
concern Satan's casting out (ekballei, the very word used of
casting out demons) Satan (rhetorical question), a kingdom
divided (meristh(8869), for a mere portion) against itself, a house
divided (meristh(8869)) against itself, two conditions of the third
class undetermined, but with prospect of determination.
