Luke 11:18-37

¹⁸And if Satan be parted against himself, how shall his realm stand? For ye say, that I cast out fiends in Beelzebub.

¹⁹And if I in Beelzebub cast out fiends, in whom cast out your sons? or in whom your sons cast out? Therefore they shall be your doomsmen.

²⁰But if I cast out fiends in the finger of God, then the realm of God is come among you.

²¹When a strong, armed man keepeth his house, all things that he wieldeth be in peace.

²²But if a stronger than he come upon him, and overcome him, he shall take away all his arms in which he trusted, and shall deal abroad his robberies or his spoils.

²³He that is not with me, is against me; and he that gathereth not together with me, scattereth abroad.

²⁴When an unclean spirit goeth out of a man, he wandereth by dry places, and seeketh rest; and he finding none, saith, I shall turn again into mine house, from whence I came out.

²⁵And when he cometh, he findeth it cleansed with besoms, and fair arrayed or adorned.

²⁶Then he goeth, and taketh with him, seven other spirits worse than himself, and they enter, and dwell there. And the last things of that man be made worse than the former.

²⁷And it was done, when he had said these things, a woman of the company raised up her voice, and said to him, Blessed be the womb that bare thee, and blessed be the teats that thou hast sucked.

²⁸And he said, But yea or Rather, blessed be they, that hear the word of God, and keep it.

²⁹And when the people ran together, he began to say, This generation is a wayward generation; it seeketh a token, and a token shall not be given to it, but the token of Jonah the prophet.

³⁰For as Jonah was a token to men of Nineveh, so man’s Son shall be to this generation.

³¹The queen of the south shall rise in doom with men of this generation, and shall condemn them; for she came from the ends of the earth, to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and lo! here is a greater than Solomon.

³²Men of Nineveh shall rise in the doom with this generation, and shall condemn it; for they did penance in or at the preaching of Jonah, and lo! here is a greater than Jonah.

³³No man tendeth or lighteneth a lantern, and putteth it in huddles, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they that go in, see light.

³⁴The lantern of thy body is thine eye; if thine eye be simple, all thy body shall be light-full; but if it be wayward, all thy body shall be dark-full.

³⁵Therefore see thou, lest the light that is in thee, be darknesses.

³⁶Therefore if all thy body be bright or light-full, and have no part of darknesses, it shall be all bright or light-full, and as a lantern of bright-ness, or shining, it shall give light to thee.

³⁷And when he spake, a Pharisee prayed him, that he should eat with him. And he entered, and sat to or at the meat.
