New Testament

Luke 11:21-27 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

21. When a strong armed man guards his entrance, the things that he possesses are at peace.

22. But if a stronger one, overwhelming him, has defeated him, he will take away all his weapons, in which he trusted, and he will distribute his spoils.

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

24. When an unclean spirit has departed from a man, he walks through waterless places, seeking rest. And not finding any, he says: 'I will return to my house, from which I departed.'

25. And when he has arrived, he finds it swept clean and decorated.

26. Then he goes, and he takes in seven other spirits with him, more wicked than himself, and they enter and live there. And so, the end of that man is made worse the beginning."

27. And it happened that, when he was saying these things, a certain woman from the crowd, lifting up her voice, said to him, "Blessed is the womb that bore you and the breasts that nursed you."
