"^(C1)When the unclean spirit comes out of ^(F1)a person, it passes through waterless places seeking rest, and not finding any, it then says, 'I will return to my house from which I came.'

"And when it comes, it finds it swept and put in order.

"Then it goes and brings along seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they come in and live there; and the last condition of that person becomes worse than the first."

While ^(F1)Jesus was saying these things, one of the women in the crowd raised her voice and said to Him, "^(C1)Blessed is the womb that carried You, and the breasts at which You nursed!"

But He said, "On the contrary, blessed are ^(C1)those who hear the word of God and follow it."
