18And if Satan be parted against himself, how shall his realm stand? For ye say, that I cast out fiends in Beelzebub. (And if Satan is divided against himself, how can his kingdom stand? For ye say, that I throw out devils and demons by 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. (And if I throw out devils and demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your sons throw them out? And so they shall be your judges.)
20But if I cast out fiends in the finger of God, then the realm of God is come among you. (But if I throw out devils and demons by the finger of God, then the Kingdom of God hath come among you, or hath come unto you.)
21When a strong, armed man keepeth his house, all things that he wieldeth be in peace (or everything that he possesseth be at peace).
22But if a stronger (man) than he come upon him, and overcome him, he shall take away all his armour or all his arms in which he trusted, (or he shall take away all his weapons 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, (or and he finding no place to rest, saith, I shall return to my house, where I came from).
25And when he cometh (back), he findeth it cleansed with besoms, and fair arrayed, or adorned, (or he findeth it swept clean, and neat and tidy).
26Then he goeth, and taketh with him (or and getteth with him), seven other spirits worse than himself, and they enter in, and dwell there. And the last things of that man be made worse than the former (things), (or the first things).
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 (or and blessed be the breasts that thou hast suckled).
28And he said, But yea, blessed be they, or And he said, Rather, blessed be they, that hear the word of God, and keep it, (or who hear the word of God, and obey it, or do it).
29And when the people ran together, he began to say, This generation is a wayward generation; it seeketh a token (or a sign), and a token shall not be given to it, no but the token of Jonas the prophet (or except the sign of the prophet Jonah).
30For as Jonas was a token to men of Nineve (or For as Jonah was a sign to the men of Nineveh), so man’s Son shall be to this generation.
31The queen of the south shall rise in (the) 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 (man) than Solomon. (The Queen of the South shall rise at the Judgement 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 behold! here is something or someone greater than Solomon.)
32Men of Nineve shall rise in the doom with this generation, and shall condemn it; for they did penance in the preaching of Jonas or for they did penance at the preaching of Jonas, and lo! here is a greater (man) than Jonas. (Men of Nineveh shall rise at the Judgement with this generation, and shall condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and behold! here is something or someone greater than Jonah.)
33No man tendeth, or lighteneth, (or lighteth), a lantern, and putteth it in huddles (or hideth it), neither under a bushel, but (rather) on a candlestick, (so) that they that go in(side), see light.
34The lantern of thy body is thine eye; if thine eye be simple, (or if thine eye is single, or is sound), 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 (or be darkness).
36Therefore if all thy body be bright, and have no part of darknesses, (or And so if all thy body be bright, and have no part with darkness), it shall be all bright, and as a lantern of brightness it shall give light to thee. Therefore if all thy body shall be light-full, not having any part of darknesses, it shall be all light-full, and as a lantern of brightness, 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 (the) meat or (and) sat at the meat. (And after he spoke, a Pharisee beseeched him, that he would eat with him. And he entered, and sat down for the meal.)
