Luke Chapter 11 Verse 31‹The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and condemn them: for she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon› [is] ‹here.›

‹When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace:›

‹But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him all his armour wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils.›

‹He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth.›

‹When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out.›

‹And when he cometh, he findeth› [it] ‹swept and garnished.›

‹Then goeth he, and taketh› [to him] ‹seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last› [state] ‹of that man is worse than the first.›

And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed [is] the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked.

But he said, ‹Yea rather, blessed› [are] ‹they that hear the word of God, and keep it.›

And when the people were gathered thick together, he began to say, ‹This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and there shall no sign be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet.›

‹For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation.›

‹The men of Nineve shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas› [is] ‹here.›

‹No man, when he hath lighted a candle, putteth› [it] ‹in a secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they which come in may see the light.›

‹The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when› [thine eye] ‹is evil, thy body also› [is] ‹full of darkness.›

‹Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness.›

‹If thy whole body therefore› [be] ‹full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light.›

And as he spake, a certain Pharisee besought him to dine with him: and he went in, and sat down to meat.

And when the Pharisee saw [it], he marvelled that he had not first washed before dinner.

And the Lord said unto him, ‹Now do ye Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward part is full of ravening and wickedness.›

[Ye] ‹fools, did not he that made that which is without make that which is within also?›

‹But rather give alms of such things as ye have; and, behold, all things are clean unto you.›
