Luke 11:16 In-Context

14 He was casting out a demon, and it was mute. It happened, when the demon had gone out, the mute man spoke; and the multitudes marveled.

15 But some of them said, "He casts out demons by Ba`al-Zibbul, the prince of the demons."

16 Others, testing him, sought from him a sign from heaven.

17 But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, "Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation. A house divided against itself falls.

18 If Hasatan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? Because you say that I cast out demons by Ba`al-Zibbul.
