out devils.
11:19. Now if I cast out devils by Beelzebub, by whom do your children
cast them out? Therefore, they shall be your judges.
11:20. But if I by the finger of God cast out devils, doubtless the
kingdom of God is come upon you.
11:21. When a strong man armed keepeth his court, those things are in
peace which he possesseth.
11:22. But if a stronger than he come upon him and overcome him, he will
take away all his armour wherein he trusted and will distribute his
spoils.
11:23. He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not
with me scattereth.
11:24. When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through
places without water, seeking rest: and not finding, he saith: I will
return into my house whence I came out.
11:25. And when he is come, he findeth it swept and garnished.
11:26. Then he goeth and taketh with him seven other spirits more wicked
