## Luke 11:17 in Context (Verses 14–20 KJV)
 
 [14 ](/kjv/luke/11/14) ¶ 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 ](/kjv/luke/11/15) But some of them said, He casteth out devils through Beelzebub the chief of the devils.
 
 [16 ](/kjv/luke/11/16) And others, tempting *him*, sought of him a sign from heaven.
 
 [17 ](/kjv/luke/11/17) 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 ](/kjv/luke/11/18) If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out devils through Beelzebub.
 
 [19 ](/kjv/luke/11/19) And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges.
 
 [20 ](/kjv/luke/11/20) But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you.
 
[Luke 10](/kjv/luke/10) [Luke 12](/kjv/luke/12)
