Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth [it] empty, swept, and garnished.	Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last [state] of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.	While he yet talked to the people, behold, [his] mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him.
