Connecting Statement:

Jesus finishes the parable that he began with the words "When an unclean spirit" in verse 43. (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-parables)

It will be just like that with this evil generation

This means that if the people of Jesus's generation do not believe him and become his disciples, they will be in a worse situation than they were before he came.
