# How then will his kingdom stand?
|

Jesus uses a question to challenge the Pharisees. AT: "Satan's kingdom cannot stand!" or "Satan's kingdom will not last!" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])
|
|
|
|
# by whom do your sons drive them out?

# your sons
|

Jesus was speaking to the Pharisees. The phrase "your sons" refers to their followers. This was a common way of referring to those who follow teachers or leaders. AT: "your followers" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])

|
# For this reason they will be your judges
|
