19 Now if I cast out devils by Beelzebub, by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore, they shall be your judges.
20 But if I by the finger of God cast out devils, doubtless the kingdom of God is come upon you.
21 When a strong man armed keepeth his court, those things are in peace which he possesseth.
