EXBALLEIN is an infinitive so its subject will be in
the accusative case.  The context clearly (see verse
15) shows that ME must be the subject and TA DAIMONIA
the object, so that the sentence reads "You say that I
cast out demons by Beelzebul" rather than "demons cast
me out by Beelzebul" or something else.
