Then the Jews said to him, “Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham died, as did the prophets; and you say, ‘If a man keeps my word, he will never taste of death.’

If the world hates you, you know that it has hated me before it hated you.

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 man becomes worse than the first. Even so will it be also to this evil generation.”

Then the disciples came, and said to him, “Do you know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this saying?”

The Pharisees and Sadducees came, and testing him, asked him to show them a sign from heaven.
