03032016 Gospel Lk 11:14-23

One day, Jesus was driving out a demon, which was mute. When the demon had been driven out, the mute person could speak, and the people were amazed. Yet some of them said, “He drives out demons by the power of Beelzebul, the chief of the demons.” Others wanted to put him to the test, by asking him for a heavenly sign.

But Jesus knew their thoughts, and said to them, “Every nation divided by civil war is on the road to ruin, and will fall. If Satan also is divided, his empire is coming to an end. How can you say that I drive out demons by calling upon Beelzebul? If I drive them out by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons drive out demons? They will be your judges, then.

But if I drive out demons by the finger of God; would not this mean that the kingdom of God has come upon you? As long as a man, strong and well armed, guards his house, his goods are safe. But when a stronger man attacks and overcomes him, the challenger takes away all the weapons he relied on, and disposes of his spoils.

Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me, scatters.

Himoon gajud bisan uno rakan nan demonyo, mailad lamang an tawo para modapig sanan mosunod dija. Dinhi sa ato ebanghelyo, tagpatuo nan demonyo an mga tawo na gikan kan Beelzebul, hepe nan mga demonyo, an gahum ni Jesus na makadajaw nan may mga sakit.

Pero dili madali-dali pagkadani an mga tawo na motuo sa demonyo kay hugot man an ila pagtuo na an gahum ni Jesus gikan gajud sa ato Diyos.
