Luke:11:14-26
nsb@Luke:11:14 @ He cast out a demon from a dumb man. When the demon left the man he spoke and the crowds were astonished.
nsb@Luke:11:15 @ Some of them said: »Beelzebub the prince of the demons casts out demons.«
nsb@Luke:11:16 @ Others tested him demanding a sign from heaven.
nsb@Luke:11:17 @ He knew their thoughts. So he told them: »Every kingdom that is divided is destroyed. A house divided against itself falls.
nsb@Luke:11:18 @ »If Satan is divided against himself how will his kingdom stand? You say I cast out demons with the help of Beelzebub.
nsb@Luke:11:19 @ »If Beelzebub helps me cast out demons, who helps your sons cast them out? They will be your judges.
nsb@Luke:11:20 @ »If I use the finger (Exodus strkjv@31:18) (2 Corinthians strkjv@3:3) of God to cast out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you?
nsb@Luke:11:21 @ »When the fully armed strong man guards his own palace, his goods are safe.
nsb@Luke:11:22 @ »When some one stronger comes to him and overpowers him he takes away his armor and steels his possessions.
nsb@Luke:11:23 @ »He who is not with me is against me. He who does not help me gather actually scatters.
nsb@Luke:11:24 @ »When an unclean spirit leaves a man it passes through desolate places. It seeks rest and finds none. It says, I will return from where I came.
nsb@Luke:11:25 @ »When he returns he finds the place swept and adorned.
nsb@Luke:11:26 @ »He then takes seven other spirits more evil than himself and they enter in and dwell. The last condition of that man becomes worse than the first.«
