17 But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste, and a divided household falls.
18 So if Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say that I expel demons by Beelzebul.

20 But if I expel demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you!
21 When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own palace, his possessions are safe.
22 But when a stronger man attacks him and conquers him, he takes away his full armor in which he trusted and distributes his plunder.
23 The one who is not with me is against me, and the one who does not gather with me scatters.
