Luke 11:20 In-Context

18 If Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say I drive out demons by Beelzebul.

19 And if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, who is it your sons drive them out by? For this reason they will be your judges.

20 If I drive out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come to you.

21 When a strong man, fully armed, guards his estate, his possessions are secure.

22 But when one stronger than he attacks and overpowers him, he takes from him all his weapons , the armor and weapons of a foot soldier; Eph 6:11 , 13 he trusted in, and divides up his plunder.
