31
Then He went down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and was teaching them on the Sabbaths.
32
And they were astonished at His teaching, for His word was with authority.
33
Now in the synagogue there was a man who had a spirit of an unclean demon. And he cried out with a loud voice,
34
saying, "Let us alone! What have we to do with You, Jesus of Nazareth? Did You come to destroy us? I know who You are--the Holy One of God!"
35
But Jesus rebuked him, saying, "Be quiet, and come out of him!" And when the demon had thrown him in their midst, it came out of him and did not hurt him.
36
Then they were all amazed and spoke among themselves, saying, "What a word this is! For with authority and power He commands the unclean spirits, and they come out."
37
And the report about Him went out into every place in the surrounding region.
38
Now He arose from the synagogue and entered Simon's house. But Simon's wife's mother was sick with a high fever, and they made request of Him concerning her.
39
So He stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her. And immediately she arose and served them.
40
When the sun was setting, all those who had any that were sick with various diseases brought them to Him; and He laid His hands on every one of them and healed them.
41
And demons also came out of many, crying out and saying, "You are the Christ, the Son of God!" And He, rebuking them, did not allow them to speak, for they knew that He was the Christ.
42
Now when it was day, He departed and went into a deserted place. And the crowd sought Him and came to Him, and tried to keep Him from leaving them;
43
but He said to them, "I must preach the kingdom of God to the other cities also, because for this purpose I have been sent."
44
And He was preaching in the synagogues of Galilee.
