Luke 11:17-23
New American Standard Bible
17 (A)But He knew their thoughts and said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste; and a house divided against [a]itself falls. 18 And if (B)Satan also has been divided against himself, how will his kingdom [b]stand? For you claim that I cast out the demons by (C)Beelzebul. 19 Yet if by (D)Beelzebul I cast out the demons, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore, they will be your judges. 20 But if I cast out the demons by [c]the (E)finger of God, then (F)the kingdom of God has come upon you. 21 When [d]a strong man, fully armed, guards his own house, his possessions are [e]secure. 22 But when someone stronger than he attacks him and overpowers him, that man takes away his armor on which he had relied and distributes his plunder. 23 (G)The one who is not with Me is against Me; and the one who does not gather with Me scatters.
