Contextual Overview

14 And he droue out a deuell that was domme: and it came to passe whan the deuell was departed out, the domme spake, and the people wondred. 15 But some of them sayde: He dryueth out the deuels, thorow Beelzebub the chefe of the deuels. 16 The other tempted him, and desyred a token of him from heauen. 17 But he knewe their thoughtes, and sayde vnto them: Euery kyngdome deuyded within it self, shal be desolate, and one house shal fall vpo another. 18 Yf Sathan then be at variaunce within himself, how shal his kyngdome endure? Because ye saye, that I dryue out deuels thorow Beelzebub. 19 And yf I dryue out deuels thorow Beelzebul, by whom the do youre children dryue them out? Therfore shall they be youre iudges. 20 But yf I cast out the deuels by the fynger of God, then is the kyngdome of God come vnto you. 21 Whan a stronge harnessed man kepeth his house, that he possesseth is in peace: 22 but whan a stronger then he commeth vpo him, and ouer commeth him, he taketh fro him all his wapens, wherin he trusted, and deuydeth the spoyle. 23 He that is not with me, is agaynst me: and he that gathereth not with me, scatereth abrode.
