Connecting Statement:

Jesus finishes the parable that he began with the words "When an unclean spirit" in verse 43.

Then it goes ... with this evil generation

Jesus tells a parable to warn the people of the danger of not believing him. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-parables)

It will be just like that with this evil generation

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