Matthew 12:45-47

Expanded Bible

⁴⁵ Then the evil spirit goes out and brings seven other spirits even more ·evil [wicked] than it is, and they go in and live there. So ·the person has even more trouble than before [^Lthe last state of that person is worse than the first]. ·It is the same way [^LSo it will be] with ·the evil people who live today [this evil generation].”

Jesus’ True Family^(A)

⁴⁶ While Jesus was talking to the ·people [crowds], [^Llook; ^Tbehold] his mother and ·brothers [or brothers and sisters; ^Cthe Greek word can mean “siblings”] stood outside, ·trying to find a way [seeking; asking] to talk to him. ⁴⁷ Someone told Jesus, “[^LLook; ^TBehold] Your mother and brothers [and sisters] are standing outside, ·and they want [seeking; asking] to talk to you.”^[a]
