21 aWhen a strong man, fully armed, guards his own palace, his goods are in peace.
22 But awhen a stronger than he comes upon him and overcomes him, he takes from him all his armor in which he trusted, and divides his1 spoils.
23 aHe who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters.
An Unclean Spirit Returns
24 a“When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’
26 Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and athe last state of that man is worse than the first.”
Keeping the Word
27 And it happened, as He spoke these things, that a certain woman from the crowd raised her voice and said to Him, a“Blessed is the womb that bore You, and the breasts which nursed You!”
Seeking a Sign
29 aAnd while the crowds were thickly gathered together, He began to say, “This is an evil generation. It seeks a bsign, and no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah1 the prophet.
