Luke 11:14-23

New Matthew Bible

¹⁴ And he was a casting out a devil that was dumb. And it followed, when the devil was gone out, the dumb man spoke. And the people were filled with wonder. ¹⁵ But some of them said, He casts out devils by the power of Beelzebub, the chief of the devils. ¹⁶ And others challenged him, seeking from him a sign from heaven.

¹⁷ But Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them, Every kingdom divided within itself will be brought to desolation, and one house will fall upon another. ¹⁸ So if Satan is divided within himself, how shall his kingdom endure? For you say that I cast out devils by the power of Beelzebub. ¹⁹ If I cast out devils by the power of Beelzebub, by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges. ²⁰ But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, without question the kingdom of God has come upon you.

²¹ When a strong man armed guards his house, that which he possesses is in peace. ²² But when one stronger than he comes upon him and overcomes him, he takes from him his weapons in which he trusted, and divides up his goods. ²³ He who is not with me, is against me. And he who does not gather with me, scatters.
