If Satan is also divided against himself, how shall his kingdom
stand?
You say that I cast out devils through Beelzebub. If I, by Beelzebub,
cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out? So judge by them.
However, I cast out devils with the finger of God, so, do not doubt
that the kingdom of God is upon you.
When a strong man is properly armed, he keeps his palace and his goods
are in peace. But when a man stronger than he comes upon him and
overcomes him, the stronger takes all the armor in which he trusted,
then divides his goods. One who is not with me is against me, and one
who does not gather with me, scatters.
When an unclean spirit leaves a man, he walks through barren places. He
seeks rest but can find none. Then the unclean spirit says, I will
return to the house out of which I came. When he goes back, he finds it
swept and garnished. So he goes and gathers together seven spirits more
wicked than himself. They enter in and dwell there; and the last state
of that man is worse than the first.
As He spoke these things, a woman in the crowd lifted up her voice and
said to Him, Blessed is the womb that bore thee, and the breasts that
nursed thee. But He said, Yes, but it is better to say, Blessed are
they that hear the word of God and keep it.
The crowd drew closer together. Jesus said to them, This is an evil
generation.
