Jesus Heals a Man with an Unclean Demon

31 (A)And he (B)went down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee. And (C)he was teaching them (D)on the Sabbath, 32 and (E)they were astonished at his teaching, (F)for his word possessed authority. 33 And (G)in the synagogue there was a man who had the spirit of an unclean demon, and he cried out with a loud voice, 34 “Ha![a] (H)What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? (I)I know who you are—(J)the Holy One of God.” 35 But Jesus (K)rebuked him, saying, “Be silent and come out of him!” And when the demon had thrown him down in their midst, he came out of him, having done him no harm. 36 And (L)they were all amazed and said to one another, “What is this word? (M)For with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits, and they come out!” 37 And (N)reports about him went out into every place in the surrounding region.
