New American Standard Bible 1995
Luke 11:24-36
24“1WhenG3752 the uncleanG169 spiritG4151 goesG1831 out of 2a manG444, it passesG1330 throughG1223 waterlessG504 placesG5117 seekingG2212 restG372, and not findingG2147 any, it saysG3004, ‘I will returnG5290 to my houseG3624 from whichG3606 I cameG1831.’ 25And when it comesG2064, it findsG2147 it sweptG4563 and putG2885 in orderG2885. 26ThenG5119 it goesG4198 and takesG3880 along sevenG2033 otherG2087 spiritsG4151 moreG4190 evilG4190 than itselfG1438, and they goG1525 in and liveG2730 thereG1563; and the lastG2078 state of that manG444 becomesG1096 worseG5501 than the firstG4413.”
27WhileG1722 3Jesus was sayingG3004 theseG3778 thingsG3778, oneG5100 of the womenG1135 in the crowdG3793 raisedG1869 her voiceG5456 and saidG3004 to Him, “4BlessedG3107 is the wombG2836 that boreG941 You and the breastsG3149 at whichG3739 You nursedG2337.” 28But He saidG3004, “On the contraryG3303G3767, blessedG3107 are 5thoseG3588 who hearG191 the wordG3056 of GodG2316 and observeG5442 it.”
29As the crowdsG3793 were increasingG1865, He beganG757 to sayG3004, “6ThisG3778 generationG1074 is a wickedG4190 generationG1074; it 7seeksG2212 for a 8signG4592, and yet noG3756 9signG4592 will be givenG1325 to it but the 10signG4592 of JonahG2495. 30For justG2531 as 11JonahG2495 becameG1096 a 12signG4592 to the NinevitesG3536, soG3779 will the SonG5207 of ManG444 be to thisG3778 generationG1074. 31The 13QueenG938 of the SouthG3558 will riseG1453 up with the menG435 of thisG3778 generationG1074 at the judgmentG2920 and condemnG2632 them, becauseG3754 she cameG2064 from the endsG4009 of the earthG1093 to hearG191 the wisdomG4678 of SolomonG4672; and beholdG2400, somethingG4183 greaterG4183 than SolomonG4672 is hereG5602. 32The menG435 of NinevehG3536 will standG450 up with thisG3778 generationG1074 at the judgmentG2920 and condemnG2632 it, becauseG3754 14they repentedG3340 at the preachingG2782 of JonahG2495; and beholdG2400, somethingG4183 greaterG4183 than JonahG2495 is hereG5602.
33“15NoG3762 oneG3762, after lightingG681 a lampG3088, putsG5087 it awayG5087 in a cellarG2926 norG3761 underG5259 a basketG3426, but on the lampstandG3087, soG2443 that thoseG3588 who enterG1531 may seeG991 the lightG5338. 3416The eyeG3788 is the lampG3088 of your bodyG4983; whenG3752 your eyeG3788 is 17clearG573, your wholeG3650 bodyG4983 alsoG2532 is fullG5460 of lightG5460; but whenG1875 it is 18badG4190, your bodyG4983 alsoG2532 is fullG4652 of darknessG4652. 35ThenG3767 watchG4648 out that the lightG5457 in you is not darknessG4655. 36IfG1487 thereforeG3767 your wholeG3650 bodyG4983 is fullG5460 of lightG5460, with noG3361G5100 darkG4652 partG3313 in it, it will be whollyG3650 illuminedG5460, as whenG3752 the lampG3088 illuminesG5461 you with its raysG796.”
