Matthew 12:43–45

AN UNCLEAN SPIRIT’S RETURN

43 “When an unclean spirit comes out of a person, it roams through waterless places looking for rest but doesn’t find any.ah 44 Then it says, ‘I’ll go back to my house that I came from.’ Returning, it finds the house vacant, swept, and put in order. 45 Then it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they enter and settle down there. As a result, that person’s last condition is worse than the first.a That’s how it will also be with this evil generation.”
