Luke 11:20 In-Context

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.

19 But if I cast out demons by Ba`al-Zibbul, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore will they be your judges.

20 But if I by the finger of God cast out demons, then the kingdom of God has come to you.

21 "When the strong man, fully armed, guards his own dwelling, his goods are safe.

22 But when someone stronger comes on him, and overcomes him, he takes from him his whole armor in which he trusted, and divides his spoils.
