Luke 11:14–26

^14jAnd he was casting out a devil, and it was dumb. And it came to pass, when the devil was gone out, the dumb spake; and the people wondered. ¹⁵But some of them said, He casteth out devils through ^†Beelzebub the chief of the devils. ¹⁶And others, ^ktempting him, ^lsought of him a sign from heaven. ^17mBut he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a house falleth. ¹⁸If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out devils through Beelzebub. ¹⁹And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your ⁿsons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges. ²⁰But if I with ^othe finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you. ²¹When a strong man armed keepeth his ^ppalace, his goods are in peace: ²²But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him ^qall his armour wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils. ^23rHe that is not with me is against me: and he that ^sgathereth not with me ^tscattereth. ^24uWhen the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out. ²⁵And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished. ²⁶Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first.
