mnt@Luke:11:15 @ But some of them said, "It is by Beelzebub, the prince of demons, that he cast out demons."

mnt@Luke:11:16 @ Others, tempting him, kept seeking from him a sign from heaven.

mnt@Luke:11:17 @ He knew their intentions and said to them. "Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste and house falls upon house.

mnt@Luke:11:18 @ "And if Satan also is divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand?

mnt@Luke:11:19 @ "Do you say that I am casting out demons by the power of Beelzebub? If I then am casting out demons by Beelzebub, by whom are your sons casting them out? They therefore shall be your judges.

mnt@Luke:11:20 @ "But if it is by the finger of God that I am casting out demons, then the kingdom of God is come upon you.

mnt@Luke:11:21 @ "When the strong man fully aroused keeps guard over his homestead, his property is undisturbed;

mnt@Luke:11:24 @ "Whenever a foul spirit is gone out of a man, it roams through waterless places, in search of rest; but when it can find none, it says, I will go back to the house which I have left.

mnt@Luke:11:25 @ When it comes and finds the house completely swept and garnished.

mnt@Luke:11:26 @ "Then it goes off and fetches seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there. And the last state of that man is worse than the first."

mnt@Luke:11:27 @ It happened while he was saying this, that a certain woman out of the crowd shouted to him, saying, "Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breast that you have sucked."

mnt@Luke:11:28 @ "No, rather," he answered, "blessed are those who listen to the word of God, and keep it."
