Luke 11:24-36
24WhenG3752 an uncleanG169 spiritG4151 comes outG1831 ofG575 a manG444, it passesG1330 throughG1223 aridG504 placesG5117 seekingG2212 restG372 andG2532 does not findG3361G2147 it. ThenG5119 it saysG3004, ‘I will returnG5290 toG1519 the houseG3624 I leftG3606G1831.’ 25On its returnG2064, it findsG2147 the house swept cleanG4563 andG2532 put in orderG2885. 26ThenG5119 it goesG4198 andG2532 bringsG3880 sevenG2033 otherG2087 spiritsG4151 more wickedG4190 than itselfG1438, andG2532 they go inG1525 and dwellG2730 thereG1563. AndG2532 theG3588 finalG2078 plight of thatG1565 manG444 isG1096 worseG5501 than theG3588 firstG4413.”
27AsG1161G1096G1722 Jesus was sayingG3004 these thingsG3778, aG5100 womanG1135 inG1537 theG3588 crowdG3793 raisedG1869 her voiceG5456 and saidG2036, “BlessedG3107 is theG3588 wombG2836 that boreG941 YouG4771, andG2532 blessed are the breastsG3149 thatG3739 nursed YouG2337!”
28ButG1161 HeG846 repliedG2036, “BlessedG3107 ratherG3304 are those whoG3588 hearG191 theG3588 wordG3056 of GodG2316 andG2532 obey itG5442.”
29AsG1161 theG3588 crowdsG3793 were increasingG1865, Jesus saidG756G3004, “ThisG3778 isG1510 a wickedG4190 generationG1074. It demandsG2212 a signG4592, butG2532 noneG3756 will be givenG1325 itG846 exceptG1487G3361 theG3588 signG4592 of JonahG2495. 30ForG1063 asG2531 JonahG2495 wasG1096 a signG4592 to theG3588 NinevitesG3536, soG3779G2532 theG3588 SonG5207 of ManG444 will beG1510 a sign to thisG3778 generationG1074.
31The QueenG938 of the SouthG3558 will riseG1453 atG1722 theG3588 judgmentG2920 withG3326 theG3588 menG435 of thisG3778 generationG1074 andG2532 condemnG2632 themG846; forG3754 she cameG2064 fromG1537 theG3588 endsG4009 of theG3588 earthG1093 to hearG191 theG3588 wisdomG4678 of SolomonG4672, andG2532 nowG2400 One greaterG4119 than SolomonG4672 is hereG5602. 32The menG435 of NinevehG3536 will standG450 atG1722 theG3588 judgmentG2920 withG3326 thisG3778 generationG1074 andG2532 condemnG2632 itG846; forG3754 they repentedG3340 atG1519 theG3588 preachingG2782 of JonahG2495, andG2532 nowG2400 One greaterG4119 than JonahG2495 is hereG5602.
33No oneG3762 lightsG681 a lampG3088 and puts itG5087 inG1519 a cellarG2926 or underG5259 a basketG3426. InsteadG235, he sets it onG1909 a standG3087, soG2443 thoseG3588 who enterG1531 can seeG991 theG3588 lightG5338.
34YourG4771 eyeG3788 isG1510 theG3588 lampG3088 of yourG3588 bodyG4983. WhenG3752 yourG4771 eyesG3788 areG1510 goodG573,1 yourG4771 wholeG3650 bodyG4983 alsoG2532 isG1510 full of lightG5460. ButG1161 whenG1875 they areG1510 badG4190,2 yourG4771 bodyG4983 is full of darknessG4652. 35Be carefulG4648, thenG3767, that theG3588 lightG5457 withinG1722 youG4771 isG1510 notG3361 darknessG4655. 36SoG3767 ifG1487 yourG4771 whole bodyG4983 is fullG3650 of lightG5460, with noG3361 partG3313 of it in darknessG2192G4652, you will beG1510 radiantG3650G5460, asG5613 thoughG3752 a lampG3088 were shiningG796G5461 on youG4771.”
