Luke 11:16 - Forerunner Commentary

Luke 11:16

A House Divided Cannot Stand

14 ^aAnd He was casting out a demon, and it was mute. So it was, when the demon had gone out, that the mute spoke; and the multitudes marveled.

15 But some of them said, ^a“He casts out demons by Beelzebub, the ruler of the demons.”

16 Others, testing Him, ^asought from Him a sign from heaven.

17 ^aBut ^bHe, knowing their thoughts, said to them: “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and a house divided against a house falls.

18 If Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? Because you say I cast out demons by Beelzebub.

19 And if I cast out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges.
