17  But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation: and a house set against a house falls; 18  and if also Satan is divided against himself, how shall his kingdom subsist? because ye say that I cast out demons by Beelzebub. 19  But if I by Beelzebub cast out demons, your sons—by whom do they cast them out? For this reason they shall be your judges. 20  But if by the finger of God I cast out demons, then the kingdom of God is come upon you. 21  When the strong man armed keeps his own house, his goods are in peace; 22  but when the stronger than he coming upon him overcomes him, he takes away his panoply in which he trusted, and he will divide the spoil he has taken from him. 23  He that is not with me is against me, and he that gathers not with me scatters. 24  When the unclean spirit has gone out of the man, he goes through dry places seeking rest; and not finding any he says, I will return to my house whence I came out. 25  And having come, he finds it swept and adorned. 26  Then he goes and takes seven other spirits worse than himself, and entering in, they dwell there; and the last condition of that man becomes worse than the first.
