14. Now He was casting out a demon, and it was dumb; but it came to pass that when the demon had gone out, the one who had been dumb spoke. And the multitudes were amazed.

15. But some of them said, “He is casting out demons by the power of Beelzebub, prince of the demons.”

16. And others, tempting Him, were seeking a sign from heaven.

17. But He, knowing their thoughts, said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a house falls.

18. And if Satan also is divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? Consider now, because you are saying that I cast out demons by Beelzebub.

19. And if I by Beelzebub cast out demons, by whom do your sons cast them out? Because of this, they shall be your judges.

20. But if I by the finger of God cast out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.

21. When a strong man who is armed guards his own dwelling, his goods are safe.

22. But when a stronger man than he comes upon him, he overcomes him, and takes away his armor in which he trusted, and divides his spoil.

23. The one who is not with Me is against Me, and the one who does not gather with Me scatters.

24. When the unclean spirit has gone out of a man, it goes through waterless places, seeking rest; and when it does not find any, it says, ‘I will return to the house from which I came out.’

25. And when it comes, it finds it swept and adorned.

26. Then it goes and takes seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they enter in and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first.” (A Faithful Version)

14. 之後，耶穌趕出一隻魔，是啞的。這魔被趕出後，便能夠說話。眾人都感覺奇異。

15. 當中有人就說：耶穌是靠魔王別西卜趕的。

16. 有人想試探，就要求耶穌顯個神蹟。

17. 耶穌知道這些人的想法，便說：一國若因為自相分爭，會因互鬥而毀；一家互鬥，這家便毀。

18. 若撒但是這樣互鬥，這國又如何能企穩不倒？若說我是靠著別西卜去趕，是否應當想清楚。

19. 理由是，若我靠別西卜去趕，你們的子孫又靠誰去趕鬼？顯然，他們是自己審判自己。

20. 反之，若我是靠著神的能力趕鬼，那是神的國度在你們中間。

21. 若人有力去守護自家的居所，他的家財就會安全。

22. 假使有位比他更強的，就能得勝，當然會拿掉他手中的武器，爪分他的擄物。

23. 為此，不認同的，就是反對。不與我站在一起，就得與我分開。

24. 污靈若是離了人身，就像在尋覓無水之地中，找尋一處可以安身的地方。尋不著，會說：只好回去那原先那安身的地方。

25. 只是，再回來時，發覺這屋被打掃得乾乾淨淨，重新修飾得美輪美奐。

26. 於是找來七隻比自己更惡的魔來，都擠進去。這人末後的光景，就比先前更壞。

路加這記述有二個段落，一是有個神蹟出現，有人不能說話，因有魔附身，被趕之後可以發聲說話。這事許多人都看到。二是有人見此現象，認為是大鬼趕小鬼，不是什麼神蹟。耶穌給他們說一個常識：鬼打鬼是不合邏輯的事。

這是人看到事件發生，便運用他們既有的常識，對現象作出解釋。然而，這種解釋並沒有常識或是合理的邏輯支橕，就如鬼趕鬼或者鬼打鬼等事的及生。因為這是內鬥，內鬥若出現，就算是鬼國都不會是能穩住並有所發展的處理方法。

也許保羅有見及此，他提出了一個觀念，不論福音內容如何被傳，不論真假，總被傳開，就不用太緊張。因為信仰是個人與神之間的經驗，若相信，這人原是被遮掩心靈被一旦掀開，自能作出分辨。若人只會按人間規矩而不懂從神支取分別的能力，這人仍是不懂神。神有的是愛不是法，叫人守住不失這愛，並不是守住規矩。若真的要有規矩，只有一條：愛神愛人。

當人以鬼打鬼這說法去解釋耶穌除去人心魔這事，倒是一個不合邏輯的說法。說這話的人是自己審判自己，是明知故犯。(v.19)

耶穌似乎再深入一點，就是人若相信耶穌，好比一屋子原先是污糟邋遢，因信將屋內弄得乾乾淨淨。若因誤信讒言，使更生的靈被污染，這人就比未信之前更為惡劣。為何會更差？因為這人再沒有重生的可能，一線生機都息了。

這不是恐懼，是對事實的陳明。提阿非羅不是傻瓜，路加也不用去恐懼他，是讓他知道，人失去常識又不懂什麼是合理，邏輯思維自己攪亂或因別人而攪亂，後果只有自己去承擔，干人何事，相信提阿非羅是個聽明又理性的人，自己總不能懲罰自己。
