Luke 11:18-32

¹⁸So if Satan also bee deuided against himselfe, howe shall his kingdome stande, because yee say that I cast out deuils through Beelzebub?

¹⁹If I through Beelzebub cast out deuils, by whome doe your children cast them out? Therefore shall they be your iudges.

²⁰But if I by ye finger of God cast out deuils, doutles the kingdome of God is come vnto you.

²¹When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, the thinges that hee possesseth, are in peace.

²²But when a stronger then hee, commeth vpon him, and ouercommeth him: hee taketh from him all his armour wherein he trusted, and deuideth his spoiles.

²³He that is not with me, is against me: and he that gathereth not with me, scattereth.

²⁴When the vncleane spirite is gone out of a man, he walketh through drie places, seeking rest: and when he findeth none he saieth, I wil returne vnto mine house whence I came out.

²⁵And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished.

²⁶Then goeth hee, and taketh to him seuen other spirites worse then himselfe: and they enter in, and dwel there: so the last state of that man is worse then the first.

²⁷And it came to passe as he sayde these thinges, a certaine woman of the companie lifted vp her voyce, and sayde vnto him, Blessed is the wombe that bare thee, and the pappes which thou hast sucked.

²⁸But hee saide, Yea, rather blessed are they that heare the woorde of God, and keepe it.

²⁹And when the people were gathered thicke together, he began to say, This is a wicked generation: they seeke a signe, and there shall no signe be giuen them, but the signe of Ionas the Prophet.

³⁰For as Ionas was a signe to the Niniuites: so shall also the Sonne of man bee to this generation.

³¹The Queene of the South shall rise in iudgement, with the men of this generation, and shall condemne them: for shee came from the vtmost partes of the earth to heare the wisedome of Salomon, and beholde, a greater then Salomon is here.

³²The men of Niniue shall rise in iudgement with this generation, and shall condemne it: for they repented at the preaching of Ionas: and beholde, a greater then Ionas is here.
