Matthew 12:44 Context
42The Queene of the South shall rise vp in the iudgement with this generation, and shall condemne it: for she came from the vttermost parts of the earth to heare the wisedome of Solomon, and behold, a greater then Solomon is here. 43When the vncleane spirit is gone out of a man, hee walketh thorow dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none. 44Then he saith, I will returne into my house from whence I came out; And when he is come, he findeth it emptie, swept, and garnished. 45Then goeth he, and taketh with himselfe seuen other spirits more wicked then himselfe, and they enter in and dwell there: And the last state of that man is worse then the first. Euen so shal it be also vnto this wicked generation. 46¶ While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speake with him.
