22. And they marvelled at his learning, for he taught them as one that had power with him, and not as the scribes.
23. And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit, and he cried out,
24. saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? Art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God.
25. And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Be silent, and come out of him.
26. And the unclean spirit tore him and cried with a loud voice and came out of him.
27. And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What thing is this? What new doctrine is this? for he commands the unclean spirits with power, and they obey him.
28. And immediately his fame spread abroad throughout all the region round about Galilee.
29. And forthwith, when they were come out of the synagogue, they entered into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
30. But Simon’s mother-in-law lay sick of a fever, and soon they told him of her.
31. And he came and took her by the hand and lifted her up; and the fever left her by and by, and she ministered unto them.
32. In the evening, when the sun was down, they brought unto him all that were diseased and those that were possessed with devils.
33. And all the city was gathered together at the door.
34. And he healed many that were sick of diverse diseases and cast out many devils and suffered not the devils to speak because they knew him.
35. And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out and departed into a solitary place and prayed there.
36. And Simon and those that were with him followed after him.
37. And when they had found him, they said unto him, All men seek for thee.
38. And he said unto them, Let us go into the next towns that I may preach there also, for truly I came forth for that purpose.
39. And he preached in their synagogues throughout all Galilee and cast out devils.
40. And a leper came to him, beseeching him and kneeling down to him and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
41. And Jesus, having mercy on him, put forth his hand and touched him and said unto him, I will; be thou clean.
42. And as soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was clean.
