Luke Chapter 11 Verse 20‹But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you.›

‹For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.›

‹If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if› [he ask] ‹a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?›

‹Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?›

‹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?›

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.

But some of them said, He casteth out devils through Beelzebub the chief of the devils.

And others, tempting [him], sought of him a sign from heaven.

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.›

‹If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out devils through Beelzebub.›

‹And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast› [them] ‹out? therefore shall they be your judges.›

‹When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace:›

‹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.›

‹He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth.›

‹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.›

‹And when he cometh, he findeth› [it] ‹swept and garnished.›

‹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.›

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.

But he said, ‹Yea rather, blessed› [are] ‹they that hear the word of God, and keep it.›

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.›

‹For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation.›
