"Thus has the Lord done to me in the days in which he looked at me, to take away my reproach among men."

My spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior,

for he has looked at the humble state of his handmaid. For behold, from now on, all generations will call me blessed.

For he who is mighty has done great things for me. Holy is his name.

"Return to your house, and declare what great things God has done for you." He went his way, proclaiming throughout the whole city what great things Jesus had done for him.

But if I by the finger of God cast out demons, then the Kingdom of God has come to you.

The unclean spirit, when he has gone out of the man, passes through dry places, seeking rest, and finding none, he says, 'I will turn back to my house from which I came out.'

"No one, when he has lit a lamp, puts it in a cellar or under a basket, but on a stand, that those who come in may see the light.
