Treasury of Scriptural Knowledge

VERSE (17) -
Mt 9:4; 12:25 Mr 3:23-26 Joh 2:25 Re 2:23

SEV Biblia, Chapter 11:17

Mas l, conociendo los pensamientos de ellos, les dijo: Todo reino dividido contra sí mismo, es desolado; y toda ciudad o casa dividida contra si mismo, no permanecer.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 17. But he knowing their thoughts , etc.] Being
God omniscient, said unto them ; the following parables, as they are called in ( Mark 3:23) or proverbial expressions, very pertinent to the purpose, and sufficient to set aside the base calumnies of the Pharisees: every kingdom divided against itself, is brought to desolation ; in process of time, division will end in destruction; and as it does in the kingdoms of the world, of which there have been fatal instances, so it would in the kingdom of Satan, was there in it a division, which the calumny of the Pharisees supposes: and an house divided against an house, falleth . The Persic version renders it, an house divided from the foundation, falls; the sense is, a family, in which one part is opposed to the other, issues in the ruin of both; (see Gill on Matthew 12:25), (see Gill on Mark 3:24), (see Gill on Mark 3:25).

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 14-26 -
Christ's thus casting out the devils, was really the destroying of their power. The heart of every unconverted sinner is the devil' palace, where he dwells, and where he rules. There is a kind of peac in the heart of an unconverted soul, while the devil, as a strong ma armed, keeps it. The sinner is secure, has no doubt concerning the goodness of his state, nor any dread of the judgment to come. But observe the wonderful change made in conversion. The conversion of soul to God, is Christ's victory over the devil and his power in tha soul, restoring the soul to its liberty, and recovering his ow interest in it and power over it. All the endowments of mind of bod are now employed for Christ. Here is the condition of a hypocrite. The house is swept from common sins, by a forced confession, as Pharaoh's by a feigned contrition, as Ahab's; or by a partial reformation, a Herod's. The house is swept, but it is not washed; the heart is no made holy. Sweeping takes off only the loose dirt, while the sin tha besets the sinner, the beloved sin, is untouched. The house i garnished with common gifts and graces. It is not furnished with an true grace; it is all paint and varnish, not real nor lasting. It wa never given up to Christ, nor dwelt in by the Spirit. Let us take hee of resting in that which a man may have, and yet come short of heaven The wicked spirits enter in without any difficulty; they are welcomed and they dwell there; there they work, there they rule. From such a awful state let all earnestly pray to be delivered.

Vincent's NT Word Studies

17. Thoughts (dianohmata). Only here in New Testament. Primarily with a sense of intent, purpose.

A house divided against itself falleth (oikov epi oikon piptei). Some make this an enlargement on the previous sentence - a more detailed description of the general is brought to desolation, and render house falleth upon house. So Rev., margin. It might be taken metaphorically: the divided kingdom is brought to desolation, and its families and households in their party strifes are brought to ruin. Wyc., and an house shall fall on an house. Tynd., one house shall fall upon another.


Robertson's NT Word Studies

11:17 {But he} (autos de). In contrast with them. {Knowing their thoughts} (eidws autwn ta dianoemata). From dianoew, to think through or distinguish. this substantive is common in Plato, but occurs nowhere else in the N.T. It means intent, purpose. Jesus knew that they were trying to tempt him. {And a house divided against a house falleth} (kai oikos epi oikon piptei). It is not certain that diamerisqeisa (divided) is to be repeated here as in #Mt 12:25; Mr 3:25. It may mean, {and house falls upon house}, "one tumbling house knocking down its neighbor, a graphic picture of what happens when a kingdom is divided against itself" (Bruce).
