Luke 11:11-21

11 Which of you fathers, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, he won't give him a snake instead of a fish, will he?
12 Or if he asks for an egg, he won't give him a scorpion, will he?
13 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him?"
14 He was casting out a demon, and it was mute. It happened, when the demon had gone out, the mute man spoke; and the multitudes marveled.
15 But some of them said, "He casts out demons by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons."
16 Others, testing him, sought from him a sign from heaven.
17 But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, "Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation. A house divided against itself falls.
18 If Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? Because you say that I cast out demons by Beelzebul.
19 But if I cast out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore will they be your judges.
20 But if I by the finger of God cast out demons, then the kingdom of God has come to you.
21 When the strong man, fully armed, guards his own dwelling, his goods are safe.
