Luke 11:19

A House Divided

18If Satan is divided against himself, how can his kingdom stand? After all, you say that I drive out demons by Beelzebul.19And if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons drive them out? So then, they will be your judges.20But if I drive out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.
