Who in 1858 said, "A house divided against itself cannot stand"?
Correct answer: Abraham Lincoln

The quote is actually from the Bible. Lincoln was a Bible reader and scholar. He credited the Bible as being the help he needed during the war, and the death of his sons.

The original quote is from Jesus in Mark 3:25. Lincoln was quoting Him.

Ummm, the correct answer is JESUS. President Lincoln was just quoting him.

Uh, people, the question was " Who in 1858 said..." it didn't ask for the original source.

ImposingArcher46413, Jesus Christ was the who said these words. So yes, it's a principle that most people would understand.

ImposingArcher46413, absolutely, it rings true in so many ways

As always if Lincoln is an option, that’s your answer. Also, some of y’all can’t read. The quote was dated.

The question did ask who said it in 1858, not who said it first.

AwesomeAnnie7, well the question is 'in 1858'. pretty sure Jesus didn't say it in that year. But if the question was who said it originally, then yes, it'd be Jesus.

It's from the Bible, said by Jesus himself. the quote is found in Matthew, 12:25: “And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand.”
if Lincoln claimed this for himself he is plagiarizing.

Nirvana girl Jade!, That is "tough" times. "tuff" isn't a word. "Tuft" (which is a word) is inappropriate.
Player #12737677
AwesomeAnnie7, did Jesus say that in 1858? ( That was the question.)
