43 When an unclean spirit goeth out from a man, he goeth by dry places, seeking rest, and findeth not. [+Forsooth when an unclean spirit is gone out from a man, he goeth by dry places, seeking rest, and he findeth none.]

44 Then he saith, I shall turn again into mine house, from whence I went out [Then he saith, I shall turn again into my house, from whence I came out]. And he cometh, and findeth it void, and cleansed with besoms, and made fair.

45 Then he goeth, and taketh with him seven other spirits worse than himself; and they enter [in], and dwell there. And the last things of that man be made worse than the former. So it shall be [and] to this worst generation.

49 And he held forth his hand into his disciples, and said, Lo! my mother and my brethren;

50 for whoever doeth the will of my Father that is in heavens, he is my brother, and sister, and mother.
