Luke 11:17-25
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 11
17
But He knew their thoughts and said to them, 'Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste; and a house
divided
against itself falls.
18
And if Satan also has been divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you claim that I cast out the demons by Beelzebul.
19
Yet if by Beelzebul I cast out the demons, by whom do your sons cast
them
out? Therefore, they will be your judges.
20
But if I cast out the 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 house, his possessions are secure.
22
But when
someone
stronger than he attacks him and overpowers him,
that man
takes away his armor on which he had relied 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.
24
When the unclean spirit comes out of a person, it passes through waterless places seeking rest, and not finding
any,
it then says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’
25
And when it comes, it finds it swept and put in order.
King James Version
Chapter 11
17
But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a house falleth.
18
If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out devils through Beelzebub.
19
And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, 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 devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you.
21
When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace:
22
But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him all his armour wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils.
23
He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth.
24
When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out.
25
And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 11
17
Knowing their thoughts, he told them, "Every kingdom divided against itself is headed for destruction, and a house divided against itself falls.
18
If Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say I drive out demons by Beelzebul.
19
And if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons drive them out? For this reason they will be your judges.
20
If I drive out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.
21
When a strong man, fully armed, guards his estate, his possessions are secure.
22
But when one stronger than he attacks and overpowers him, he takes from him all his weapons he trusted in, and divides up his plunder.
23
Anyone who is not with me is against me, and anyone who does not gather with me scatters.
24
"When an unclean spirit comes out of a person, it roams through waterless places looking for rest, and not finding rest, it then says, ‘I’ll go back to my house that I came from.’
25
Returning, it finds the house swept and put in order.
New Living Translation
Chapter 11
17
He knew their thoughts, so he said, 'Any kingdom divided by civil war is doomed. A family splintered by feuding will fall apart.
18
You say I am empowered by Satan. But if Satan is divided and fighting against himself, how can his kingdom survive?
19
And if I am empowered by Satan, what about your own exorcists? They cast out demons, too, so they will condemn you for what you have said.
20
But if I am casting out demons by the power of God, then the Kingdom of God has arrived among you.
21
For when a strong man is fully armed and guards his palace, his possessions are safe —
22
until someone even stronger attacks and overpowers him, strips him of his weapons, and carries off his belongings.
23
Anyone who isn’t with me opposes me, and anyone who isn’t working with me is actually working against me.
24
When an evil spirit leaves a person, it goes into the desert, searching for rest. But when it finds none, it says, ‘I will return to the person I came from.’
25
So it returns and finds that its former home is all swept and in order.
English Standard Version

18

19
And if I cast out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges.
20
But if it is by the finger of God that I cast out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.
21
When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own palace, his goods are safe;
22
but when one stronger than he attacks him and overcomes him, he takes away his armor in which he trusted and divides his spoil.
23
Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters.
24

New International Version
Chapter 11
17
Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them: "Any kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and a house divided against itself will fall.
18
If Satan is divided against himself, how can his kingdom stand? I say this because you claim that I drive out demons by Beelzebul.
19
Now if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your followers drive them out? So then, they will be your judges.
20
But if I drive out 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 house, his possessions are safe.
22
But when someone stronger attacks and overpowers him, he takes away the armor in which the man trusted and divides up his plunder.
23
"Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters.
24
"When an impure spirit comes out of a person, it goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’
25
When it arrives, it finds the house swept clean and put in order.
