☆ Gospel:Luke 11:14-23
14
And he was sending an evil spirit out of a man who was without the power of talking. And it came about that when the spirit had gone the man had the power of talking; and the people were full of wonder.
15
But some of them said, He sends out evil spirits by Beelzebul, the ruler of evil spirits.
16
And others, testing him, were looking for a sign from heaven from him.
17
But he, having knowledge of their thoughts, said to them, Every kingdom in which there is division is made waste; and a house in which there is division comes to destruction.
18
If, then, Satan is at war with himself, how will he keep his kingdom? because you say that I send evil spirits out of men by the help of Beelzebul.
19
And if I, by Beelzebul, send out evil spirits, by whose help do your sons send them out? so let them be your judges.
20
But if I, by the finger of God, send out evil spirits, then the kingdom of God has overtaken you.
21
When the strong man armed keeps watch over his house, then his goods are safe:
22
But when one who is stronger makes an attack on him and overcomes him, he takes away his instruments of war, in which he had put his faith, and makes division of his goods.
23
He who is not with me is against me, and he who will not give me help in getting people together is driving them away.

☆ Jeremiah 7:23-28
23
But this was the order I gave them, saying, Give ear to my voice, and I will be your God, and you will be my people: go in all the way ordered by me, so that all may be well for you.
24
But they took no note and did not give ear, but were guided by the thoughts and the pride of their evil hearts, going back and not forward.
25
From the day when your fathers came out of Egypt till this day, I have sent my servants the prophets to you, getting up early every day and sending them:
26
But still they took no note and would not give ear, but they made their necks stiff, doing worse than their fathers.
27
And you are to say all these words to them, but they will not give ear to you: you will send out your voice to them, but they will give no answer.
28
And you are to say to them, This is the nation which has not given ear to the voice of their God, or taken his teaching to heart: good faith is dead and is cut off from their mouths.
