Mark 3:27 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 3:27

No man can enter into a strong man's house
This is properly a parable; the other seem to be proverbs, or sayings, that were commonly used to show the ill consequences of discords, factions, and divisions, as is explained in the note on (See Gill on Matthew 12:29).

Mark 3:27 In-Context

25 and if a household is divided against itself, that household can't survive.
26 So if Satan has rebelled against himself and is divided, he can't survive either; and that's the end of him.
27 Furthermore, no one can break into a strong man's house and make off with his possessions unless he first ties up the strong man. After that, he can ransack his house.
28 Yes! I tell you that people will be forgiven all sins and whatever blasphemies they utter;
29 however, someone who blasphemes against the Ruach HaKodesh never has forgiveness but is guilty of an eternal sin."
