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 And if a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand.

26 And if Satan has risen up against himself and is divided, he is not able to stand, but is at an end!

27 But no one is able to enter into the house of a strong [man] [and] plunder his property unless he first ties up the strong [man], and then he can thoroughly plunder his house.

28 "Truly I say to you that all the sins and the blasphemies will be forgiven the sons of men, however much they blaspheme.

29 But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit does not have forgiveness {forever}, but is guilty of [an] eternal sin"--
