SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY LUKE 11:14-23

Jesus' Power Is from God

¹⁴ One time Jesus was sending out a demon who could not talk. When the demon came out, the man who had been unable to speak, then spoke. The people were amazed. ¹⁵ But some of them said, "Jesus uses the power of Beelzebul, the ruler of demons, to force demons out of people."

¹⁶ Other people, wanting to test Jesus, asked him to give them a sign from heaven. ¹⁷ But knowing their thoughts, he said to them, "Every kingdom that is divided against itself will be destroyed. And a family that is divided against itself will not continue. ¹⁸ So if Satan is divided against himself, his kingdom will not continue. You say that I use the power of Beelzebul to force out demons.¹⁹ But if I use the power of Beelzebul to force out demons, what power do your people use to force demons out? So they will be your judges. ²⁰ But if I use the power of God to force out demons, then the kingdom of God has come to you.

²¹ "When a strong person with many weapons guards his own house, his possessions are safe. ²² But when someone stronger comes and defeats him, the stronger one will take away the weapons the first man trusted and will give away the possessions.

²³ "Anyone who is not with me is against me, and anyone who does not work with me is working against me.
