Luke 11:20 In-Context

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

19 But if *I* by Beelzebub cast out demons, your sons -- by whom do they cast [them] out? For this reason *they* shall be your judges.

20 But if by the finger of God I cast out demons, then the kingdom of God is come upon you.

21 When the strong [man] armed keeps his own house, his goods are in peace;

22 but when the stronger than he coming upon [him] overcomes him, he takes away his panoply in which he trusted, and he will divide the spoil [he has taken] from him.
