16. And others, testing him, sought of him a sign from heaven.
17. But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them,
18. If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because you say that I cast out demons through Beelzebub.
19. And if I by Beelzebub cast out demons, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges.
20. But if I with the finger of God cast out demons, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you.
21. When a strong man armed keeps his palace, his goods are in peace:
22. But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he takes from him all his armor in which he trusted, and divides his spoils.
23. He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathers not with me scatters.
24. When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walks through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he says, I will return unto my house from which I came out.
25. And when he comes, he finds it swept and in order.
