Keep in view Jesus' teaching of the hypocrites who want to be seen praying loudly and contorting their faces when they fast so others will know they are fasting.
Men will claim to walk in faith, clean their house and adorn it, expressing the outward signs of their faith but they have none. The man leaves his house, seeking signs.
When the man returns to his home, swept and garnished, he leaves it again for good because no sign was given when he asked, and those fruits are revealed to be poisonous and bad fruit because he had no real faith at all. No signs, so no faith. And he leaves with even more evil spirits dwelling within in.
