Lucas 11:17

Listen to Lucas 11:17
17 Pero conociendo El sus pensamientos, les dijo: Todo reino dividido contra sí mismo es asolado; y una casa dividida contra sí misma, se derrumba.

Lucas 11:17 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 11:17

But he knowing their thoughts
Being God omniscient,

said unto them;
the following parables, as they are called in ( Mark 3:23 ) or proverbial expressions, very pertinent to the purpose, and sufficient to set aside the base calumnies of the Pharisees:

every kingdom divided against itself, is brought to desolation;
in process of time, division will end in destruction; and as it does in the kingdoms of the world, of which there have been fatal instances, so it would in the kingdom of Satan, was there in it a division, which the calumny of the Pharisees supposes:

and an house divided against an house, falleth.
The Persic version renders it, "an house divided from the foundation, falls"; the sense is, a family, in which one part is opposed to the other, issues in the ruin of both; (See Gill on Matthew 12:25), (See Gill on Mark 3:24), (See Gill on Mark 3:25).

Lucas 11:17 In-Context

15 Pero algunos de ellos dijeron: El echa fuera los demonios por Beelzebú, príncipe de los demonios.
16 Y otros, para ponerle a prueba, demandaban de El una señal del cielo.
17 Pero conociendo El sus pensamientos, les dijo: Todo reino dividido contra sí mismo es asolado; y una casa dividida contra sí misma, se derrumba.
18 Y si también Satanás está dividido contra sí mismo, ¿cómo permanecerá en pie su reino? Porque vosotros decís que yo echo fuera demonios por Beelzebú.
19 Y si yo echo fuera demonios por Beelzebú, ¿por quién los echan fuera vuestros hijos? Por consiguiente, ellos serán vuestros jueces.
