(1) 2Q: Luke 11:24-26 = Matt 12:43-45

/11:24/ "When the unclean spirit has gone out of a person, it wanders through waterless regions looking for a resting place, but not finding any, it says, 'I will return to my house from which I came.' /25/ When it comes, it finds it swept and put in order. /26/ Then it goes and brings seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they enter and live there; and the last state of that person is worse than the first."

= Matt 12:43-45
/12:43/ "When the unclean spirit has gone out of a person, it wanders through waterless regions looking for a resting place, but it finds none. /44/ Then it says, 'I will return to my house from which I came.' When it comes, it finds it empty, swept, and put in order. /45/ Then it goes and brings along seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they enter and live there; and the last state of that person is worse than the first. So will it be also with this evil generation."
