Luke 11:22-32

22 ¹but when one stronger than he attacks him and ²overcomes him, he takes away his ³armor in which he trusted and ⁴divides his spoil.

23 ⁵Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters.

Return of an Unclean Spirit

24 ⁶"When the unclean spirit has gone out of a person, it passes through ⁷waterless places seeking rest, and finding none it says, 'I will return to my house from which I came.'

25 And when it comes, it finds the house swept and put in order.

26 Then it goes and brings seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they enter and dwell there. And ⁸the last state of that person is worse than the first."

True Blessedness

27 As he said these things, ⁹a woman in the crowd raised her voice and said to him, ¹⁰"Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts at which you nursed!"

28 But he said, ¹¹"Blessed rather are those ¹²who hear the word of God and ¹³keep it!"

The Sign of Jonah

29 ¹⁴When the crowds were increasing, he began to say, ¹⁵"This generation is an evil generation. ¹⁶It seeks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah.

30 For as ¹⁷Jonah became a sign to the people of Nineveh, so will the Son of Man be to this generation.

31 ¹⁸The queen of the South will rise up at the judgment with the men of this generation and ¹⁹condemn them, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold, ²⁰something greater than Solomon is here.

32 ²¹The men of Nineveh will rise up at the judgment with this generation and ²²condemn it, for ²³they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and behold, ²⁴something greater than Jonah is here.
