Luke 11:14-23

¹⁴And He was casting out a mute demon; when the demon had gone out, the man who was previously unable to speak talked, and the crowds were amazed. ¹⁵But some of them said, “He casts out the demons by Beelzebul, the ruler of the demons.” ¹⁶Others, to test Him, were demanding of Him a sign from heaven. ¹⁷But He knew their thoughts and said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste; and a house divided against itself falls. ¹⁸And if Satan also has been divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you claim that I cast out the demons by Beelzebul. ¹⁹Yet if by Beelzebul I cast out the demons, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore, they will be your judges. ²⁰But if I cast out the demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you. ²¹When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own house, his possessions are secure. ²²But when someone stronger than he attacks him and overpowers him, that man takes away his armor on which he had relied and distributes his plunder. ²³The one who is not with Me is against Me; and the one who does not gather with Me scatters.
