Luke 11:16

Read in context

Luke 11:14–18 · Berean Standard Bible

14 One day Jesus was driving out a demon that was mute. And when the demon was gone, the man who had been mute spoke. The crowds were amazed,

15 but some of them said, “It is by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons, that He drives out demons.”

16 And others tested Him by demanding a sign from heaven.

17 Knowing their thoughts, Jesus said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself will be laid waste, and a house divided against a house will fall.

18 If Satan is divided against himself, how can his kingdom stand? After all, you say that I drive out demons by Beelzebul.
