18. And at once abandoning their nets, they followed him.
19. And continuing on a little ways from there, he saw James of Zebedee and his brother John, and they were mending their nets in a boat.
20. And immediately he called them. And leaving behind their father Zebedee in the boat with his hired hands, they followed him.
21. And they entered into Capernaum. And entering into the synagogue promptly on the Sabbaths, he taught them.
22. And they were astonished over his doctrine. For he was teaching them as one who has authority, and not like the scribes.
23. And in their synagogue, there was a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out,
24. saying: "What are we to you, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are: the Holy One of God."
25. And Jesus admonished him, saying, "Be silent, and depart from the man."
26. And the unclean spirit, convulsing him and crying out with a loud voice, departed from him.
27. And they were all so amazed that they inquired among themselves, saying: "What is this? And what is this new doctrine? For with authority he commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him."
