Luke 11:20 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 11:20

But if I with the, finger of God
The power of God, referring to ( Exodus 8:19 ) and so the Cabalistic Jews ^F18 explain it,

``the finger is one of the five in the hand, and is that finger which works by the power of Elohim;''

it is the same with the Spirit of God; (See Gill on Matthew 12:28) which is often called the hand of the Lord, ( Ezekiel 1:3 ) ( 3:22 ) ( 37:1 ) ( 40:1 ) .

Luke 11:20 In-Context

18 If Satan also is divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out demons through Beelzebub.

19 And if I by Beelzebub cast out demons, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges.

20 But if I with the finger of God cast out the demons, certainly the kingdom of God is come upon you.

21 When an armed strong man keeps his palace, his goods are in peace;

22 but when another stronger than he shall come upon him and overcome him, he takes from him all his arms in which he trusted and divides his spoils.
