Luke 11:14-23

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁴ And he was casting out a devil, and the same was dumb: and when he had cast out the devil, the dumb spoke: and the multitudes were in admiration at it:

¹⁵ But some of them said: He casteth out devils by Beelzebub, the prince of devils.

¹⁶ And others tempting, asked of him a sign from heaven.

¹⁷ But he seeing their thoughts, said to them: Every kingdom divided against itself, shall be brought to desolation, and house upon house shall fall.

¹⁸ And if Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because you say, that through Beelzebub I cast out devils.

¹⁹ Now if I cast out devils by Beelzebub; by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore they shall be your judges.

²⁰ But if I by the finger of God cast out devils; doubtless the kingdom of God is come upon you.

²¹ When a strong man armed keepeth his court, those things are in peace which he possesseth.

²² But if a stronger than he come upon him, and overcome him; he will take away all his armour wherein he trusted, and will distribute his spoils.

²³ He that is not with me, is against me; and he that gathereth not with me, scattereth.
