New Testament

Luke 11:24-31 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

24. “Whenever an unclean spirit has gone out of a person, it travels through waterless places searching for rest, and does not find it. It says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came out.’

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

26. Then it goes and brings along seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they go in and live there. And the last state of that person becomes worse than the first!”

27. Now it happened that as he said these things, a certain woman from the crowd raised her voice and said to him, “Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts at which you nursed!”

28. But he said, “On the contrary, blessed are those who hear the word of God and follow it!”

29. And as the crowds were increasing, he began to say, “This generation is an evil generation! It demands a sign, and no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah!

30. For just as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so also the Son of Man will be to this generation.

31. The queen of the south will rise up at the judgment with the people of this generation and condemn them, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold, something greater than Solomon is here!
