Commentary on Matthew 12:25

Theological / Devotional

Knew their thoughts. See on Mark 2:8.

Every kingdom. A nation in which there is civil war obviously weakens its standing and power with respect to other nations.

House. Perhaps referring to a political territory as the “house” of the one who rules over it, though the principle stated would be equally true of a “house” in the sense of a family dwelling.
