katapi HOME Matthew 12:43-45 - The Return of the Unclean Spirit  Mt.12.43-45 (Capernaum)- Lk.11.24-26 | NEB Contents | notes

12 43 'When an unclean spirit comes out of a man it wanders over the deserts seeking a resting-place; and finding none, 12 44 it says, "I will go back to the home I left." So it returns and finds the house unoccupied, swept clean, and tidy. 12 45 Off it goes and collects seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they all come in and settle down; and in the end the man's plight is worse than before. That is how it will be with this wicked generation.'
