Notes

Matthew 12:43–45

The Messiah came in victory over evil spirits. But instead of turning back to God, the nation as a whole rejected him. Jesus said that when an evil spirit is cast out, it may return if the person is not ready to resist it. In the same way, judgment would come on this evil generation because they rejected the Messiah (God’s chosen one).

Matthew 12:22–45

The Pharisees, the teachers of religious law, and many people of his generation rejected the Messiah.
