Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house.
All Commentaries on Matthew 12:29 Go To Matthew 12
Jerome
AD 420
His “house” is this world, which is set in evil, not by the majesty of the Creator, but by the greatness of the sinner. The strong man is bound and chained in tartarus, bruised by the Lord’s foot. Yet ought we not therefore tobe careless; for here the conqueror Himself pronounces our adversary to be strong.
