42 The queen of the south will rise up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and look-something greater than Solomon is here!

43 "When an unclean spirit comes out of a man, it roams through waterless places looking for rest but doesn't find any.

44 Then it says, 'I'll go back to my house that I came from.' And when it arrives, it finds [the house] vacant, swept, and put in order.

45 Then off it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they enter and settle down there. As a result, that man's last condition is worse than the first. That's how it will also be with this evil generation."

46 He was still speaking to the crowds when suddenly His mother and brothers were standing outside wanting to speak to Him.

49 And stretching out His hand toward His disciples, He said, "Here are My mother and My brothers!

50 For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven, that person is My brother and sister and mother."
