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.
All Commentaries on Mark 3:27 Go To Mark 3
Augustine of Hippo
AD 430
He conquered the devil first by righteousness, and then by power. First by righteousness, because he who had no sin was slain by him most unjustly. But then by power, because having been dead he lived again, never afterwards to die. For Christ was crucified, not through immortal power, but through the weakness which he took upon him in mortal flesh. Of this weakness the apostle nevertheless says, “God’s weakness is stronger than human strength.” .
