Luke 11:20 In-Context

18 If Satan fights against himself, how can his kingdom stand? "I say this because of what you claim. You say I drive out demons by the power of Beelzebub.

19 Suppose I do drive out demons with Beelzebub's help. With whose help do your followers drive them out? So then, they will be your judges.

20 But suppose I drive out demons with the help of God's powerful finger. Then God's kingdom has come to you.

21 "When a strong man is completely armed and guards his house, what he owns is safe.

22 But when someone stronger attacks, he is overpowered. The attacker takes away the armor the man had trusted in. Then he divides up what he has stolen.
