Logion 35

35. Jesus said, “It is not posssible for anyone to enter into the house of a strong man and take it by force unless he bind his hands; then will he be able to spoil the house.”
Mk 3:27
“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 interpretation seems clear enough: No one can force another to do something against their will, unless the will itself is disabled.
