Luke:11:14-28
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And he was casting out a devil ,
and it was dumb .
And it came to pass ,
when the devil was gone out ,
the dumb spake ;
and the people wondered .
*
But some of them said ,
He casteth out devils through Beelzebub the chief of the devils .
*
And others ,
tempting him ,
sought of him a sign from heaven .
*
But he ,
knowing their thoughts ,
said unto them ,
Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation ;
and a house divided against a house falleth .
*
If Satan also be divided against himself ,
how shall his kingdom stand ?
because ye say that I cast out devils through Beelzebub .
*
And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils ,
by whom do your sons cast them out ?
therefore shall they be your judges .
*
But if I with the finger of God cast out devils ,
no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you .
*
When a strong man armed keepeth his palace ,
his goods are in peace :
*
But when a stronger than he shall come upon him ,
and overcome him ,
he taketh from him all his armour wherein he trusted ,
and divideth his spoils .
*
He that is not with me is against me :
and he that gathereth not with me scattereth .
*
When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man ,
he walketh through dry places ,
seeking rest ;
and finding none ,
he saith ,
I will return unto my house whence I came out .
*
And when he cometh ,
he findeth it swept and garnished .
*
Then goeth he ,
and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself ;
and they enter in ,
and dwell there :
and the last state of that man is worse than the first .
*
And it came to pass ,
as he spake these things ,
a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice ,
and said unto him ,
Blessed is the womb that bare thee ,
and the paps which thou hast sucked .
*
But he said ,
Yea rather ,
blessed are they that hear the word of God ,
and keep it .
