Luke 11:14–23

¹⁴And he was casting out a demon, and it was dumb; and it came to pass, the demon being gone out, the dumb man spoke. And the crowds wondered. ¹⁵But some from among them said, By Beelzebub the prince of the demons casts he out demons. ¹⁶And others tempting him sought from him a sign out of heaven. ¹⁷But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation: and a house set against a house falls; ¹⁸and if also Satan is divided against himself, how shall his kingdom subsist? because ye say that I cast out demons by Beelzebub. ¹⁹But if I by Beelzebub cast out demons, your sons—by whom do they cast them out? For this reason they shall be your judges. ²⁰But if by the finger of God I cast out demons, then the kingdom of God is come upon you. ²¹When the strong man armed keeps his own house, his goods are in peace; ²²but 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. ²³He that is not with me is against me, and he that gathers not with me scatters.
