Matthew 12:43-45 - An Unclean Spirit Returns

Matthew 12:43-45

43 When the unclean spirit has gone out of a man, he goes through dry places seeking rest, and finds none. 44 Then he says: I will return to my house, out of which I came. And he comes and finds it empty, swept, and. set in order. 45 Then he goes and takes with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in and dwell there. And the last state of that man is worse than the first. So shall it be with this wicked generation.

Luke 11:24-28

24 "When the unclean spirit has gone out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he says, I will return to my house out of which I came. 25 And he comes and finds it swept, and set in order. 26 Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits, more wicked than himself, and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first.

27 And it came to pass, that, when he said these things, a certain woman from among the multitude lifted up her voice, and said to him: Blessed is the womb that bore thee, and the breasts that thou didst suck.

28 And he said: Yes, rather blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.
