Jesus begins a parable about a strong man who is defeated by a stronger man. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-parables]])

|
# When a strong man ... are safe
|
|
|
|
The "strong man" here is a metaphor for Satan. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])

|
# his own palace
|
|
|
|
Possible meanings of the word "palace" are 1) the entire premises of the "strong man" or 2) it refers to the courtyard of a palace and is a synecdoche for the palace. If you have a word for the house and other areas close to it that the strong man can constantly guard, you may want to use it here.
