Luke 11:14-28 — Jesus and Beelzebul

Luke.11.14-28

¹⁴And he was casting out a demon, and it was mute ; and it happened that when the demon had gone out, the mute man spoke. And the crowds marveled. ¹⁵But some of them said, “By Beelzebul, the ruler of the demons, he casts out demons.” ¹⁶And others, testing him, were seeking from him a sign from heaven. ¹⁷But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, "Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste, and a house falls upon a house. ¹⁸And if Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? Because you say that I cast out demons by Beelzebul. ¹⁹But if I cast out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons cast them out? For this reason they will be your judges. ²⁰But if I cast out demons by the finger of God , then the kingdom of God has come upon you. ²¹When the strong man, fully armed, keeps guard over his own courtyard, his possessions are in peace. ²²But when one stronger than he attacks and overcomes him, he takes away his armor in which he trusted, and divides his spoils. ²³He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not gather with me scatters. ²⁴When the unclean spirit goes out from the man, it passes through waterless places seeking rest, and not finding any, it says, 'I will return to my house from which I came out.' ²⁵And when it comes, it finds it swept and put in order. ²⁶Then it goes and takes along seven other spirits more evil than itself, and entering in, they dwell there; and the last state of that man becomes worse than the first. ²⁷And it happened that as he was saying these things, a certain woman from the crowd raised her voice and said to him, “Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts at which you nursed!” ²⁸But he said, “On the contrary , blessed are those who hear the word of God and keep it.”
