Mark 1:21-39
Worldwide English (New Testament)
21 They went to the town of Capernaum. As soon as it was the Sabbath day, Jesus went into their meeting house and taught the people.
22 They were very much surprised at his teaching because he taught them as if he had the right to teach them. He did not teach them like their teachers called scribes.
23 A man who had a bad spirit in him was in the meeting house at that time.
24 He called out, `Jesus of Nazareth, what do you want to do to us? Have you come to kill us? I know who you are. You are the Holy One of God.'
25 Jesus said to the spirit, `Be quiet! Come out of him!'
26 The bad spirit threw the man around. It called out loud and then it came out of the man.
27 The people were all surprised. They said one to another, `What is this? Is not this a new teaching? He tells the bad spirits what to do and even they obey him'
28 The people all around Galilee heard right away about Jesus.
29 As soon as they came out of the meeting house, they went to the home of Simon and Andrew. James and John went also.
30 Simon's wife's mother was sick and was lying down. She had a fever. Right away they told Jesus about her.
31 Jesus went to her. He took her hand and helped her up. The fever left her right away, and she began to do things to help them.
32 That evening when the sun went down, people brought to Jesus all the sick people and those who had bad spirits.
33 All the people in the city crowded around the door.
34 He healed many sick people. He drove the bad spirits out of people. And he did not let them speak because they knew who he was.
35 The next morning Jesus got up long before daylight. He went out to a place by himself. There he talked with God.
36 Simon and his friends went out after Jesus.
37 When they found him they said, `Everyone is looking for you.'
38 Jesus said, `We must go to the next towns. I must tell the good news to the people there too. That is why I came here.'
39 Then Jesus talked to the people in all the meeting houses in all the country of Galilee. He also made the bad spirits come out of people.

Jesus Drives Out an Impure Spirit(A)
21 They went to Capernaum, and when the Sabbath came, Jesus went into the synagogue and began to teach.(B) 22 The people were amazed at his teaching, because he taught them as one who had authority, not as the teachers of the law.(C) 23 Just then a man in their synagogue who was possessed by an impure spirit cried out, 24 “What do you want with us,(D) Jesus of Nazareth?(E) Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God!”(F)
25 “Be quiet!” said Jesus sternly. “Come out of him!”(G) 26 The impure spirit shook the man violently and came out of him with a shriek.(H)
27 The people were all so amazed(I) that they asked each other, “What is this? A new teaching—and with authority! He even gives orders to impure spirits and they obey him.” 28 News about him spread quickly over the whole region(J) of Galilee.
Jesus Heals Many(K)(L)
29 As soon as they left the synagogue,(M) they went with James and John to the home of Simon and Andrew. 30 Simon’s mother-in-law was in bed with a fever, and they immediately told Jesus about her. 31 So he went to her, took her hand and helped her up.(N) The fever left her and she began to wait on them.
32 That evening after sunset the people brought to Jesus all the sick and demon-possessed.(O) 33 The whole town gathered at the door, 34 and Jesus healed many who had various diseases.(P) He also drove out many demons, but he would not let the demons speak because they knew who he was.(Q)
Jesus Prays in a Solitary Place(R)
35 Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed.(S) 36 Simon and his companions went to look for him, 37 and when they found him, they exclaimed: “Everyone is looking for you!”
38 Jesus replied, “Let us go somewhere else—to the nearby villages—so I can preach there also. That is why I have come.”(T) 39 So he traveled throughout Galilee, preaching in their synagogues(U) and driving out demons.(V)
