Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Luke 11:14-23

Luke 11:14-23 . And he was casting out a devil See on Matthew 9:32-34; and Matthew 12:22-23. Some said, He casteth out devils through Beelzebub These he answers, Luke 11:17. Others, to try whether it were so or not, sought a sign from heaven These he reproves, in the 29th and following verses. Beelzebub signifies the lord of flies, a title which the heathen gave to Jupiter, whom they accounted the chief of their gods, and yet supposed him to be employed in driving away flies from... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Luke 11:14-36

52. Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit (Matthew 12:22-45; Mark 3:22-30; Luke 11:14-36)On one occasion when Jesus cast out demons, the Pharisees accused him of doing it by the power of Satan, the prince of demons (Matthew 12:22-24; Luke 11:14-16). Jesus replied that if the prince of demons used his own power to cast out demons, he would be creating civil war in his own kingdom. He would be destroying himself. The only way a strong man can be defeated is if a stronger man overpowers him. In casting out... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 11:18

And if Satan also is divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out demons by Beelzebub.This verse startlingly reveals some things about Satan. Spence said:Throughout this argument, Jesus assumes the existence of a kingdom of evil, all armed and thoroughly organized to carry out its dread purposes. He concedes, too, in language which admits of no questioning, the existence of a chief of this evil confederacy.[26]Further, as Boles noted, "It will be noted... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 11:19

And if I by Beelzebub cast out demons, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges.There was no logical way for the Pharisees to view exorcism by their own followers as being of God and at the same time allege that the exorcisms by Jesus were by the power of Satan. Furthermore, there were vast differences in the claimed exorcisms by the sons of the Pharisees and the real miracles wrought by Jesus. The example before them which had caused such marveling by the people... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 11:14-26

1. The Beelzebul controversy 11:14-26 (cf. Matthew 12:22-37; Mark 3:19-30)The placement of these events in Luke’s Gospel again raises the question of whether Luke recorded the same incident as Matthew and Mark or whether this was a similar but different one. I, along with many other students of the passages, believe it was probably a different occasion in view of the differences in the accounts.The connecting idea with what precedes is the Holy Spirit (Luke 11:13). Luke had stressed the... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 11:17-20

Jesus at least knew the thoughts of his critics by their request for a greater sign (Luke 11:16) if not by prophetic insight. He argued first that the head of an army would hardly work with his enemy against his own troops. Second, if Satan was behind Jesus’ exorcisms, it was logical to assume that he was behind the exorcisms that some recognized Jewish exorcists performed (cf. Acts 19:13-14). Jesus’ antagonists would have been unwilling to concede that. They wanted to maintain a double... read more
