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 You say I am empowered by Satan. But if Satan is divided and fighting against himself, how can his kingdom survive?

19 And if I am empowered by Satan, what about your own exorcists? They cast out demons, too, so they will condemn you for what you have said.

20 But if I am casting out demons by the power of God, then the Kingdom of God has arrived among you.

21 For when a strong man like Satan is fully armed and guards his palace, his possessions are safe—

22 until someone even stronger attacks and overpowers him, strips him of his weapons, and carries off his belongings.
