Luke 11:14–36

^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.

²⁷And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company ^xlifted up her voice, and said unto him, ^yBlessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked. ²⁸But he said, ^zYea rather, ^ablessed are they ^bthat hear the word of God, and ^ckeep it.

²⁹And when the people were gathered thick together, he began to say, ^dThis is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and there shall no sign be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet. ³⁰For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation. ^31eThe queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and ^fcondemn them: for she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here. ^32gThe men of Nineve shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall ^fcondemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.

^33hNo man, when he hath lighted a candle, putteth it in a secret place, neither under a ^||bushel, but on a candlestick, ⁱthat they which come in may see the light. ^34kThe light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when ^lthine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness. ³⁵Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness. ³⁶If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when ^†the ^mbright shining of a candle doth give thee light.
