Matthew 12:43-45 - An Unclean Spirit Returns

Matthew 12:43-45

43 But when the unclean spirit goes forth out of the man, it passes through waterless places, seeking rest, and finds it not. 44 Then it says, I will return into my house from where I came out. And when it comes, it finds it empty, swept, and put in order. 45 Then it goes, and takes with itself seven other spirits more evil than itself, and having enter in, they dwell there. And the last state of that man becomes worse than the first. So it will also be to this evil generation.

Luke 11:24-28

24 When the unclean spirit departs out of the man, it passes through waterless places seeking rest. And not finding, it says, I will return to my house from where I came out. 25 And when it comes, it finds it swept and put in order. 26 Then it goes, and takes along seven other spirits more evil than itself, and having enter in, it dwells there. And the last state of that man becomes worse than the first.

27 And it came to pass, as he said these things, a certain woman, having lifted up her voice out of the crowd, said to him, Blessed is the belly that bore thee, and the breasts that thou suckled.

28 But he said, Blessed rather, are those who hear the word of God, and keep it.
