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 ) .

18 So if Satan is divided against himself, his kingdom will not continue. You say that I use the power of Beelzebul to force out demons.

19 But if I use the power of Beelzebul to force out demons, what power do your people use to force demons out? So they will be your judges.

20 But if I use the power of God to force out demons, then the kingdom of God has come to you.

21 "When a strong person with many weapons guards his own house, his possessions are safe.

22 But when someone stronger comes and defeats him, the stronger one will take away the weapons the first man trusted and will give away the possessions.
