21. They went to Capernaum, and immediately on the Sabbath He entered the synagogue and taught.
22. They were astonished at His teaching, for He taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.
23. In their synagogue there was a man with an unclean spirit.
24. And he cried out, “Leave us alone! What do You have to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have You come to destroy us? I know who You are, the Holy One of God.”
25. Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be silent and come out of him!”
26. When the unclean spirit had convulsed him and cried out with a loud voice, it came out of him.
27. They were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, “What is this? What new teaching is this? With authority He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey Him.”
28. Immediately His fame spread everywhere throughout the region surrounding Galilee.
29. When He came out of the synagogue with James and John, they went directly to the house of Simon and Andrew.
30. The mother of Simon’s wife lay sick with a fever, and immediately they told Him of her.
31. So He came and took her by the hand and lifted her up, and immediately the fever left her. And she served them.
32. In the evening, when the sun had set, they brought to Him all who were sick and those who were possessed with demons.
33. The whole city was gathered at the door,
34. and He healed many who were sick with various diseases and cast out many demons. And He did not let the demons speak, because they knew Him.
