Luke 11:14. Then He was casting out a demon and this one was deaf and mute: and it happened, after the demon came out, the mute person spoke and the crowds were amazed. 15. But some of them said “He is casting out the demons by means of Beelzebub the leader of the demons:” 16. but others, testing, were seeking a sign from heaven from Him. 17. And because He knew their thoughts He said to them, “Every kingdom that is divided against itself is laid waste and a house divided against a house falls. 18. And if in fact Satan is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? Yet you say that I cast out demons by Beelzebub. 19.

But if I am casting out demons by a finger of God, then the Kingdom of God has come upon you.
