Contextual Overview

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. ¹⁹ But if I use the power of Beelzebul to force out demons, what power do your people use to force demons out? So they will be your judges. ²⁰ But if I use the power of God to force out demons, then the kingdom of God has come to you. ²¹ "When a strong person with many weapons guards his own house, his possessions are safe. ²² But when someone stronger comes and defeats him, the stronger one will take away the weapons the first man trusted and will give away the possessions. ²³ "Anyone who is not with me is against me, and anyone who does not work with me is working against me.

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

the finger: Exodus 8:19, Matthew 12:28

the kingdom: For the destruction of the kingdom of Satan plainly implies the setting up of the kingdom of God. The reasoning of the Pharisees - Luke 11:17, and Matthew 12:24, Matthew 12:25, was not expressed, and Jesus knowing their thoughts, gave ample proof of his omniscience. This, with our Lord's masterly confutation of their reasonings, by a conclusion drawn from their own premises, one would have supposed might have humbled and convinced those men; but the most conclusive reasoning, and the most astonishing miracles, were lost upon a people who were obstinately determined to disbelieve every thing that was good relative to Jesus of Nazareth. Luke 10:9, Luke 10:11, Daniel 2:44, Acts 20:25, Acts 28:23-28, 2 Thessalonians 1:5

Reciprocal: Exodus 31:18 - the finger Deuteronomy 9:10 - written with Psalms 8:3 - work Zechariah 13:2 - unclean Acts 2:22 - which 1 Corinthians 1:22 - the Jews Philippians 3:8 - doubtless Revelation 20:2 - he laid

Gill's Notes on the Bible

But if I with the, finger of God,.... The power of God, referring to Exodus 8:19 and so the Cabalistic Jews r explain it,

"the finger is one of the five in the hand, and is that finger which works by the power of Elohim;''

it is the same with the Spirit of God; Exodus 8:19- : which is often called the hand of the Lord, Ezekiel 1:3.
