Luke 11:17 Context
15But some of them said, Hee casteth out deuils through Beelzebub the chiefe of the deuils. 16And other tempting him, sought of him a signe from heauen. 17But he knowing their thoughts, said vnto them, Euery kingdome diuided against it selfe, is brought to desolation: and a house diuided against a house, falleth. 18If Satan also be diuided against himselfe, how shall his kingdom stand? Because yee say that I cast out deuils through Beelzebub. 19And if I by Beelzebub cast out deuils, by whom doe your sonnes cast them out? therefore shall they be your iudges.
