New Testament

Luke 11:11-18 New Century Version (NCV)

11. If your children ask for a fish, which of you would give them a snake instead?

12. Or, if your children ask for an egg, would you give them a scorpion?

13. Even though you are bad, you know how to give good things to your children. How much more your heavenly Father will give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”

14. One time Jesus was sending out a demon who could not talk. When the demon came out, the man who had been unable to speak, then spoke. The people were amazed.

15. But some of them said, “Jesus uses the power of Beelzebul, the ruler of demons, to force demons out of people.”

16. Other people, wanting to test Jesus, asked him to give them a sign from heaven.

17. But knowing their thoughts, he said to them, “Every kingdom that is divided against itself will be destroyed. And a family that is divided against itself will not continue.

18. So if Satan is divided against himself, his kingdom will not continue. You say that I use the power of Beelzebul to force out demons.
