Notes

Luke 11:20

The kingdom of God has come upon you: When Jesus drove out demons, he showed that the kingdom of God was present.

Luke 11:14–32

Jesus faced two challenges. He answered the first, an accusation that he was driving out demons by Satan's power (11:15), in 11:17–26. The second was a demand for "a sign from heaven" (11:16). He answered this in 11:29–32.
