Lucas 11:15 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 11:15

But some of them said
The Pharisees, ( Matthew 9:34 ) ( Matthew 12:24 ) who could not bear that he should be thought to be the Messiah, and therefore put an ill construction on the miracle:

he casteth out devils through Beelzebub, the chief of devils;
in several copies he is called Beelzebul, and in the Arabic and Ethiopic versions; which last adds these words, "and he answered and said, how can Satan cast out Satan?" (See Gill on Matthew 12:20).

13 Se v贸s, pois, sendo maus, sabeis dar boas d谩divas aos vossos filhos, quanto mais dar谩 o Pai celestial o Esp铆rito Santo 锟絨ueles que lho pedirem?
14 Estava Jesus expulsando um dem么nio, que era mudo; e aconteceu que, saindo o dem么nio, o mudo falou; e as multid玫es se admiraram.
15 Mas alguns deles disseram: 脡 por Belzebu, o pr铆ncipe dos dem么nios, que ele expulsa os dem么nios.
16 E outros, experimentando-o, lhe pediam um sinal do c茅u.
17 Ele, por茅m, conhecendo-lhes os pensamentos, disse-lhes: Todo reino dividido contra si mesmo ser谩 assolado, e casa sobre casa cair谩.
