Luke 11:21 Context
19And if I by Beelzebub cast out deuils, by whom doe your sonnes cast them out? therefore shall they be your iudges. 20But if I with the finger of God cast out deuils, no doubt the kingdome of God is come vpon you. 21When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace: 22But when a stronger then he shal come vpon him, and ouercome him, hee taketh from him all his armour wherein he trusted, and diuideth his spoiles. 23He that is not with me, is against me: and hee that gathereth not with me, scattereth.
