Luke 11:14-26

Devotionals, Articles, and Bible Study Resources on Luke 11:14-26

14One day Jesus was driving out a demon that was mute. And when the demon was gone, the man who had been mute spoke. The crowds were amazed,
15but some of them said, “It is by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons, that He drives out demons.”
16And others tested Him by demanding a sign from heaven.
17Knowing their thoughts, Jesus said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself will be laid waste, and a house divided against a house will fall.
18If Satan is divided against himself, how can his kingdom stand? After all, you say that I drive out demons by Beelzebul.
19And if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons drive them out? So then, they will be your judges.
20But if I drive out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.
21When a strong man, fully armed, guards his house, his possessions are secure.
22But when someone stronger attacks and overpowers him, he takes away the armor in which the man trusted, and then he divides up his plunder.
23He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters.
24When an unclean spirit comes out of a man, it passes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’
25On its return, it finds the house swept clean and put in order.
26Then it goes and brings seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and dwell there. And the final plight of that man is worse than the first.”
— Luke 11:14-26
