Luke 11:20 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 11:20

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 And if Satan really has engaged in fierce conflict with himself, how shall his kingdom stand?--because you say that I expel demons by the power of Baal-zebul.

19 And if it is by the power of Baal-zebul that I expel the demons, by whom do your disciples expel them? They therefore shall be your judges.

20 But if it is by the power of God that I drive out the demons, it is evident that the Kingdom of God has come upon you.

21 "Whenever a strong man, fully armed and equipped, is guarding his own castle, he enjoys peaceful possession of his property;

22 but as soon as another stronger than he attacks him and overcomes him, he takes away that complete armour of his in which he trusted, and distributes the plunder he has collected.
