MLV(i)
17 But he, knowing their minds, said to them, Every kingdom divided against itself is made desolate, and a house divided against a house falls.
18 But if the Adversary is also divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? Because you say that I cast out demons by Beelzebub.
19 But if I cast out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your sons cast them out? Because of this, they will be your judges.
20 But if I cast out demons by the finger of God; consequently, the kingdom of God has arrived-unexpectedly upon you.
21 Whenever the fully armed strong man is guarding his own courtyard, his possessions are in peace. 22 But whenever the one mightier than him, having come upon him and then, overcomes him, he takes away his full-armor upon which he had confidence in, and distributes his haul. 23 He who is not with me is against me, and he who is not gathering with me, scatters.
