Luke 11:20 In-Context

18 So if Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say [that] I expel demons by Beelzebul.

19 But if I expel demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons expel [them]? For this [reason] they will be your judges!

20 But if I expel demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you!

21 When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own palace, his possessions are {safe}.

22 But when a stronger man attacks him [and] conquers him, he takes away his full armor in which he trusted and distributes his plunder.
