Contextual Overview
14And He was casting forth a demon, and it was mute, and it came to pass, the demon having gone forth, the mute man spoke, and the multitudes wondered, 15and certain of them said, "By Beelzebul, ruler of the demons, He casts forth the demons"; 16and others, tempting, were asking [for] a sign out of Heaven from Him.17And He, knowing their thoughts, said to them, "Every kingdom having been divided against itself is desolated; and house against house falls; 18and if Satan was also divided against himself, how will his kingdom be made to stand? For you say by Beelzebul is My casting forth the demons, 19but if I, by Beelzebul, cast forth the demons—your sons, by whom do they cast forth? Because of this they will be your judges; 20but if by the finger of God I cast forth the demons, then the Kingdom of God came unaware on you. 21When the strong man may keep his hall armed, his goods are in peace; 22but when the stronger than he, having come on [him], may overcome him, he takes away his whole armor in which he had trusted, and he distributes his spoils; 23he who is not with Me is against Me, and he who is not gathering with Me scatters.
