31 And (A)He came down to (B)Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and He was teaching them on the Sabbath; 32 and (C)they were amazed at His teaching, for (D)His [a]message was with authority. 33 And in the synagogue there was a man [b]possessed by the spirit of an unclean demon, and he cried out with a loud voice, 34 [c]Let us alone! [d](E)What do we have to do with You, Jesus the (F)Nazarene? Have You come to destroy us? I know who You are—(G)the Holy One of God!” 35 But Jesus (H)rebuked it, saying, “Be quiet and come out of him!” And when the demon had thrown him down in the midst of the people, it came out of him without doing him any harm. 36 And amazement came upon them all, and they were talking with one another saying, “What is [e]this message? For (I)with authority and power He commands the unclean spirits and they come out.” 37 And (J)the report about Him was spreading into every place in the surrounding district.
