# PASM - Matthew 12 2019.01.24 - The context is Jesus driving out a demon and the Pharisees accusing Him of driving out a demon by the power of Satan (BTW, this is an example of blaspheme of the Holy Spirit) (24) - The "parable" that Jesus uses in this verse about binding up the strong man before plundering his house seems obvious. However, I am less confident in the real meaning. I think it means that first we have to bind Satan, then we can drive out a demon. (29) - Strong man's (29-1st) - G2478 - ischyrou - Strong man (29-2nd) - G2478 - ischyron
