29. And rising up, they pushed and drove Him out of the town, and [laying hold of Him] they led Him to the [projecting] upper part of the hill on which their town was built, that they might hurl Him headlong down [over the cliff].
30. But passing through their midst, He went on His way.
31. And He descended to Capernaum, a town of Galilee, and there He continued to teach the people on the Sabbath days.
32. And they were amazed at His teaching, for His word was with authority and ability and weight and power.
33. Now in the synagogue there was a man who was possessed by the foul spirit of a demon; and he cried out with a loud (deep, terrible) cry,
34. Ah, let us alone! What have You to do with us [What have we in common], Jesus of Nazareth? Have You come to destroy us? I know Who You are–the Holy One of God!
35. But Jesus rebuked him, saying, Be silent (muzzled, gagged), and come out of him! And when the demon had thrown the man down in their midst, he came out of him without injuring him in any possible way.
36. And they were all amazed and said to one another, What kind of talk is this? For with authority and power He commands the foul spirits and they come out!
37. And a rumor about Him spread into every place in the surrounding country.
38. Then He arose and left the synagogue and went into Simon's (Peter's) house. Now Simon's mother-in-law was suffering in the grip of a burning fever, and they pleaded with Him for her.
39. And standing over her, He rebuked the fever, and it left her; and immediately she got up and began waiting on them.
