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
Rabanus Maurus
AD 856
Therefore He has spoiled his house, in that them, whom He foresaw should be His own, He set free from the snares of the Devil, and has joined to the Church. Orin that He has divided the whole world among His Apostles and their successors to be converted. By this plain parable therefore He shows that He does not joinin a deceitful working with the daemons as they falsely accused Him, but by the might of His divinity He frees men from the daemons.
