Luke 11:17-23

Devotionals, Articles, and Bible Study Resources on Luke 11:17-23

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.
— Luke 11:17-23
