Luke 11:14-23
Jesus was driving out a demon that was mute,
and when the demon had gone out, the mute man spoke and the crowds were amazed.
Some of them said, “By the power of Beelzebul, the prince of demons, he drives out demons.”
Others, to test him, asked him for a sign from heaven. But he knew their thoughts and said to them,
“Every kingdom divided against itself will be laid waste
and house will fall against house.
And if Satan is divided against himself,
how will his kingdom stand?
For you say that it is by Beelzebul that I drive out demons.
If I, then, drive out demons by Beelzebul,
by whom do your own people drive them out?
Therefore they will be your judges.
But if it is by the finger of God that I drive out demons,
then the Kingdom of God has come upon you.
When a strong man fully armed guards his palace,
his possessions are safe. But when one stronger than he attacks and overcomes him, he takes away the armor on which he relied and distributes the spoils.
Whoever is not with me is against me,
and whoever does not gather with me scatters.”

Paanong Mapalabas ni Satanas si Satanas?
Lucas 11:14-23
14Si Jesus ay nagpapalayas ng demonyo, iyon ay pipi. Nangyari, nang lumabas ang demonyo, ang pipi ay nagsalita at ang mga tao ay namangha. 15Ang ilan sa kanila ay nagsabi: Siya ay nagpapalayas ng mga demonyo sa pamamagitan ni Beelzebub na pinuno ng mga demonyo. 16Sinusubok siya ng ibang mga tao kaya hinahanapan nila siya ng tanda mula sa langit.17Alam niya ang kanilang iniisip. Dahil dito, sinabi niya sa kanila: Ang bawat paghaharing nahati laban sa kaniyang sarili ay napupunta sa kapanglawan. Ang sambahayang nahati laban sa sambahayan ay bumabagsak. 18Kung si Satanas ay nahahati laban sa kaniyang sarili, papaano makakatayo ang kaniyang paghahari. Sinabi ko ito dahil sinabi ninyong ako ay nagpapalayas ng mga demonyo sa pamamagitan ni Beelzebub. 19Kung nagpapalayas ako ng mga demonyo sa pamamagitan ni Beelzebub, sa pamamagitan nino nagpapalayas ng mga demonyo ang inyong mga anak? Sa pamamagitan nito sila ang magiging tagapaghatol ninyo. 20Ngunit kung nagpapalayas ako ng mga demonyo sa pamamagitan ng daliri ng Diyos, ang paghahari ng Diyos ay dumating sa inyo.
21Kung ang isang lalaking malakas ay nasasandatahan upang magbantay ng kaniyang tinitirahan, ang kaniyang ari-arian ay ligtas. 22Ngunit sa pagdating ng higit na malakas kaysa sa kaniya, siya ay malulupig. Kukunin nito ang buong baluting pinagtitiwalaan niya at hahatiin ang mga naagaw sa kaniya.
23Siya na hindi sumasama sa akin ay laban sa akin at siya na hindi nagtitipong kasama ko ay nagkakalat.

How can Jesus bear to be with people who are always after Him, waiting for His mistakes, watching His every move, questioning His every motive, and challenging His every teaching? He must be a patient and loving Man. How can He stand it all without letting it get into His nerves? How can He be so kind and understanding?
Lord God, teach me to be patient. Teach me to wait since not all people will readily understand me. Teach me to be accommodating to those who cannot immediately accept me. Teach me to be kind to those who do not see things the way I do. Teach me the simple lesson that people will always have differing views, temperaments, and levels of understanding. They may not understand me, but that does not mean I should not understand them. They may not accept me, but that does not mean I should not respect them.
In Jesus’ name. Amen.
