Mark 3:27 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 3:27

No man can enter into a strong man's house
This is properly a parable; the other seem to be proverbs, or sayings, that were commonly used to show the ill consequences of discords, factions, and divisions, as is explained in the note on (See Gill on Matthew 12:29).

Mark 3:27 In-Context

25 If a house is divided against itself, it cannot stand.

26 And if Satan is divided and rises against himself, he cannot stand; his end has come.

27 Indeed, no one can enter a strong man’s house to steal his possessions unless he first ties up the strong man. Then he can plunder his house.

28 Truly I tell you, the sons of men will be forgiven all sins and blasphemies, as many as they utter.

29 But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; he is guilty of eternal sin.”
