24. "What happens when an evil spirit comes out of a man? It goes through dry areas looking for a place to rest. But it doesn't find it. Then it says, 'I will return to the house I left.'
25. When it arrives there, it finds the house swept clean and put in order.
26. Then the evil spirit goes and takes seven other spirits more evil than itself. They go in and live there. That man is worse off than before."
27. As Jesus was saying these things, a woman in the crowd called out. She shouted, "Blessed is the mother who gave you birth and nursed you."
28. He replied, "Instead, blessed are those who hear God's word and obey it."
