Therefore they shall themselves be your judges. ²⁰ But, if it is by the hand of God that I drive out demons, then the Kingdom of God must already be upon you. ²¹ When a strong man is keeping guard, fully armed, over his own mansion, his property is in safety; ²² But, when one still stronger has attacked and overpowered him, he takes away all the weapons on which the other had relied, and divides his spoil.
