Charles Spurgeon Commentary Luke 11:16

"And others, trying [him], sought of him a sign from heaven." — Luke 11:16 (ASV)

And others, tempting him, sought of him a sign from heaven.

"You are doing this work from beneath," they said, "now do something that is truly from above." They must have known that the casting out of the devil was from heaven, for Satan would never cast out Satan.

And others, tempting him, sought from him a sign from heaven.

Yet they had a very striking one in the dumb devil being cast out of the man; what clearer sign than that could they have?
