Matthew 12:44-46
English Standard Version
44 Then it says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ And when it comes, it finds the house empty, swept, and put in order. 45 Then it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they enter and dwell there, and (A)the last state of that person is worse than the first. So also will it be with this (B)evil generation.”
Jesus' Mother and Brothers
46 While he was still speaking to the people, behold, (C)his mother and his (D)brothers[a] stood outside, asking to speak to him.[b]
