Luke 11:18 Made Simple

KJV ORIGINAL

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

Close to the original. Clear modern English.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

Jesus basically said 'your logic is broken' when people accused him of using evil to do good.
