011:015 But some among them said, "It is by the power of Baal-zebul, the Prince of the demons, that he expels the demons."

011:017 And, knowing their thoughts, He said to them, "Every kingdom

and is overthrown.
011:018 And if Satan really has engaged in fierce conflict with himself,

demons by the power of Baal-zebul.
011:019 And if it is by the power of Baal-zebul that I expel the demons,
by whom do your disciples expel them? They therefore shall
be your judges.
011:020 But if it is by the power of God that I drive out the demons,
it is evident that the Kingdom of God has come upon you.
011:021 "Whenever a strong man, fully armed and equipped, is guarding
his own castle, he enjoys peaceful possession of his property;
011:022 but as soon as another stronger than he attacks him and overcomes him, he takes away that complete armour of his in which he trusted, and distributes the plunder he has collected.
011:023 Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever is not gathering with me is scattering abroad.
