44 Then he says, 'I will return into my house from which I came out,' and when he has come back, he finds it empty, swept, and put in order. 45 Then he goes, and takes with himself seven other spirits more evil than he is, and they enter in and dwell there. The last state of that person becomes worse than the first. Even so will it be also to this evil generation.| 46 While he was yet speaking to the crowds, look, his mother and his brothers stood outside, seeking to speak to him. 47 Then one said to him, |Look, your mother and your brothers stand outside, seeking to speak to you.| 48 But he answered him who spoke to him, |Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?| 49 And he stretched out his hand towards his disciples, and said, |Look, my mother and my brothers. 50 For whoever does the will of my Father who is in heaven, he is my brother, and sister, and mother.| Matthew 12:44-50, New Heart English Bible.
