An Unclean Spirit Returns
23He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters.24When an unclean spirit comes out of a man, it passes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’25On its return, it finds the house swept clean and put in order.
