Luke 11: 14 - 23
|
| 14 | Now he was casting out a demon that was dumb; when the demon had gone out, the dumb man spoke, and the people marveled. |
| 15 | But some of them said, "He casts out demons by Be-el'zebul, the prince of demons"; |
| 16 | while others, to test him, sought from him a sign from heaven. |
| 17 | But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, "Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste, and a divided household falls. |
| 18 | And if Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say that I cast out demons by Be-el'zebul. |
| 19 | And if I cast out demons by Be-el'zebul, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they shall be your judges. |
| 20 | But if it is by the finger of God that I cast out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you. |
| 21 | When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own palace, his goods are in peace; |
| 22 | but when one stronger than he assails him and overcomes him, he takes away his armor in which he trusted, and divides his spoil. |
| 23 | He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not gather with me scatters. |
