One who is not with me is against me, and one
who does not gather with me, scatters.
When an unclean spirit leaves a man, he walks through barren places.
He seeks rest but can find none. Then the unclean spirit says, I will
return to the house out of which I came. When he goes back, he finds
it swept and garnished. So he goes and gathers together seven spirits
more wicked than himself. They enter in and dwell there; and the last
state of that man is worse than the first.
As He spoke these things, a woman in the crowd lifted up her voice and
said to Him, Blessed is the womb that bore thee, and the paps which
thou has sucked. But He said, Yes, but it is better to say, Blessed
are they that hear the word of God and keep it.
The crowd drew closer together. Jesus said to them, This is an evil
generation. They seek a sign but no sign will be given except the sign
of Jonas the prophet.
As Jonas was a sign to the Ninevites, so shall the Son of man be to
this generation. The queen of the south will rise up in judgment of
this generation. She will condemn them for she came from the utmost
parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, one
greater than Solomon is here. The men of Nineve will rise up in
judgment with this generation and shall condemn it, for they repented
at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, one greater than Jonas is
here.
