Luke 11:19
"If Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say that I cast out demons by Beelzebul."
Key Reflection
Jesus uses this statement to challenge the scribes and Pharisees' accusations that his miracles are performed through demonic power. By pointing out that Satan cannot divide himself, Jesus highlights the absurdity of their claim, suggesting that if his actions indeed come from Beelzebul, then Satan would be undermining his own kingdom.
