Matthew 12:43-45

International Children’s Bible

People Today Are Full of Evil

⁴³ “When an evil spirit comes out of a man, it travels through dry places looking for a place to rest. But it finds no place to rest. ⁴⁴ So the spirit says, ‘I will go back to the home I left.’ When the spirit comes back to the man, the spirit finds the home still empty. The home is swept clean and made neat. ⁴⁵ Then the evil spirit goes out and brings seven other spirits even more evil than it is. Then all the spirits go into the man and live there. And that man has even more trouble than he had before. It is the same way with the evil people who live today.”
