Luke 11:16 In-Context

14 And he was casting out a demon, and it was dumb; and it came to pass, the demon being gone out, the dumb [man] spoke. And the crowds wondered.

15 But some from among them said, By Beelzebub the prince of the demons casts he out demons.

16 And others tempting [him] sought from him a sign out of heaven.

17 But *he*, knowing their thoughts, said to them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation: and a house set against a house falls;

18 and if also Satan is divided against himself, how shall his kingdom subsist? because ye say that I cast out demons by Beelzebub.
