Luke 11:13-31
-
13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?
-
14 And he was casting out a devil, and it was dumb. And it came to pass, when the devil was gone out, the dumb spake; and the people wondered.
-
15 But some of them said, He casteth out devils through Beelzebub the chief of the devils.
-
16 And others, tempting him, sought of him a sign from heaven.
-
17 But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a house falleth.
-
18 If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out devils through Beelzebub.
-
19 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges.
-
20 But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you.
-
21 When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace:
-
22 But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him all his armour wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils.
-
23 He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth.
-
24 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out.
-
25 And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished.
-
26 Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first.
-
27 And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked.
-
28 But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.
-
29 And when the people were gathered thick together, he began to say, This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and there shall no sign be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet.
-
30 For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation.
-
31 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and condemn them: for she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.
