“No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strong man; and then he will spoil his house.”
Mark 3:27 (KJV)
Commentary on Mark 3:27
Jesus shifts from defense to offense: 'No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strong man; and then he will spoil his house.' The 'strong man' represents Satan; his 'house' is his kingdom; his 'goods' are demon-possessed people. Jesus is the stronger one who binds Satan and plunders his kingdom by liberating captives. The verb 'bind' (δήσῃ) indicates overpowering, restraining. 'Spoil' (διαρπάσῃ) means plunder, seize as victor's spoils. Jesus' exorcisms are acts of conquest, demonstrating kingdom warfare.
