Matthew 12:43-45 - An Unclean Spirit Returns

Matthew 12:43-45

43 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh thro' dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none. 44 Then he saith, I will return to my house whence I came out, and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept and garnished. 45 Then goeth he and taketh 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. So shall it be also to this wicked generation.

Luke 11:24-28

24 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh thro' dry places, seeking rest: and finding none, he saith, I will return to my house whence I came out. 25 And coming he findeth it swept and garnished. 26 Then goeth he and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and entering in they dwell there; and the last state of that man becometh worse than the first.

27 As he spake these things, a certain woman lifting up her voice out of the multitude said to him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked!

28 But he said, Yea, rather blessed are they, that hear the word of God and keep it.
