SEV Biblia, Chapter 11:25

Y viniendo, la halla barrida y adornada.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 25. And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and
garnished .] In Matthew it is also said to be empty; and so it is read here in the Arabic version; and in the Ethiopic version, empty of men: but rather the sense is, that he found it empty of all goodness, notwithstanding all the sweeping and garnish of an outward reformation. The Persic version renders it, heated and prepared; heated with wrath and fury against Christ, and his Gospel, and so was prepared and fitted to be a proper habitation for Satan; and in such a case as this was the Jewish nation from the time of Christ's death to the destruction of Jerusalem; (see Gill on Matthew 12:44) Ver. 26. Then goeth he and taketh to him seven other spirits , etc.] Or demons, as the Ethiopic version, whom he took to him as his consorts and companions, as the same version calls them. More wicked than himself ; for it seems there are degrees of wickedness among the devils, as well as among men: and they enter and dwell there ; the unclean spirit, and the other seven: so seven devils were in Mary Magdalene, and a legion in another man; and indeed the evil heart of man is an habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit: here it may chiefly design the place and power which the devil had among the Jews before their destruction: and the last state of that man is worse than the first ; the Persic version adds, and more miserable; as was the case of the Jews, to which this parable refers; as appears by what is subjoined in Matthew, which manifestly applies it to them, even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation ; (see Gill on Matthew 12:45).

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 14-26 -
Christ's thus casting out the devils, was really the destroying of their power. The heart of every unconverted sinner is the devil' palace, where he dwells, and where he rules. There is a kind of peac in the heart of an unconverted soul, while the devil, as a strong ma armed, keeps it. The sinner is secure, has no doubt concerning the goodness of his state, nor any dread of the judgment to come. But observe the wonderful change made in conversion. The conversion of soul to God, is Christ's victory over the devil and his power in tha soul, restoring the soul to its liberty, and recovering his ow interest in it and power over it. All the endowments of mind of bod are now employed for Christ. Here is the condition of a hypocrite. The house is swept from common sins, by a forced confession, as Pharaoh's by a feigned contrition, as Ahab's; or by a partial reformation, a Herod's. The house is swept, but it is not washed; the heart is no made holy. Sweeping takes off only the loose dirt, while the sin tha besets the sinner, the beloved sin, is untouched. The house i garnished with common gifts and graces. It is not furnished with an true grace; it is all paint and varnish, not real nor lasting. It wa never given up to Christ, nor dwelt in by the Spirit. Let us take hee of resting in that which a man may have, and yet come short of heaven The wicked spirits enter in without any difficulty; they are welcomed and they dwell there; there they work, there they rule. From such a awful state let all earnestly pray to be delivered.
