Luke 11:14-26

141And He was castingG1544 out a demonG1140, and it was muteG2974; when the demonG1140 had goneG1831 out, the muteG2974 manG2974 spokeG2980; and the crowdsG3793 were amazedG2296. 15But someG5100 of them saidG3004, “He castsG1544 out demonsG1140 2by 3BeelzebulG954, the rulerG758 of the demonsG1140.” 16OthersG2087, 4to testG3985 Him, 5were demandingG2212 of Him a 6signG4592 from heavenG3772. 177But He knewG3609 their thoughtsG1270 and saidG3004 to them, “8AnyG3956 kingdomG932 dividedG1266 againstG1909 itselfG1438 is laidG2049 wasteG2049; and a houseG3624 divided againstG1909 9itselfG3624 fallsG4098. 18IfG1487 10SatanG4567 alsoG2532 is dividedG1266 againstG1909 himselfG1438, howG4459 will his kingdomG932 standG2476? For you sayG3004 that I castG1544 out demonsG1140 by 11BeelzebulG954. 19And ifG1487 I by 12BeelzebulG954 castG1544 out demonsG1140, by whomG5101 do your sonsG5207 castG1544 them out? SoG1223G3778 they will be your judgesG2923. 20But ifG1487 I castG1544 out demonsG1140 by the 13fingerG1147 of GodG2316, thenG686 14the kingdomG932 of GodG2316 has comeG5348 upon you. 21WhenG3752 15a strongG2478 man, fullyG2528 armedG2528, guardsG5442 his ownG1438 houseG833, his possessionsG5225 are 16undisturbedG1722G1515. 22But whenG1875 someone strongerG2478 than he attacksG1904 him and overpowersG3528 him, he takesG142 awayG142 from him allG3833 his armorG3833 on whichG3739 he had reliedG3982 and distributesG1239 his plunderG4661. 2317He who is not with Me is againstG2596 Me; and he who does not gatherG4863 with Me, scattersG4650.

24“18WhenG3752 the uncleanG169 spiritG4151 goesG1831 out of 19a manG444, it passesG1330 throughG1223 waterlessG504 placesG5117 seekingG2212 restG372, and not findingG2147 any, it saysG3004, ‘I will returnG5290 to my houseG3624 from whichG3606 I cameG1831.’ 25And when it comesG2064, it findsG2147 it sweptG4563 and putG2885 in orderG2885. 26ThenG5119 it goesG4198 and takesG3880 along sevenG2033 otherG2087 spiritsG4151 moreG4190 evilG4190 than itselfG1438, and they goG1525 in and liveG2730 thereG1563; and the lastG2078 state of that manG444 becomesG1096 worseG5501 than the firstG4413.”
