Lukas 11:18

18 And if Hasatan also was divided against himself, how shall Hasatan’s Malchut (Kingdom) stand? Because you say by Baal-zibbul I cast out shedim.

Lukas 11:18 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 11:18

And if Satan also be divided against himself, how shall
his kingdom stand?
&c.] This is the accommodation of the above parables, or proverbial sentences; suggesting, that Satan must be against himself, if what the Pharisees said was true; and consequently, his kingdom and government, could not long subsist:

because ye say that I cast out devils through Beelzebub;
which is all one as to say, that Satan is divided against himself, which is not reasonable to suppose; (See Gill on Matthew 12:26) and (See Gill on Mark 3:26).

Lukas 11:18 In-Context

16 And others, to test him, were demanding of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach an ot (sign) from Shomayim.

17 But Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach, having had daas of their machshavot (thoughts), said to them, Every Malchut divided against itself is laid waste; and a bais (household) divided against itself falls.

18 And if Hasatan also was divided against himself, how shall Hasatan’s Malchut (Kingdom) stand? Because you say by Baal-zibbul I cast out shedim.

19 But if I by Baal-zibbul cast out the shedim, by whom do your banim cast them out? Oib azoi (consequently), they shall be your shofetim (judges).

20 But, if I, by the finger of Hashem, cast out the shedim, then the Malchut Hashem has come upon you. [SHEMOT 8:19]
