Luke 4:31-44

New American Standard Bible

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, because ^(D)His ^[a]message was delivered with authority. ³³ 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 “Leave us alone! ^[c](E)What business do You have with us, Jesus ^[d]of ^(F)Nazareth? Have You come to destroy us? I know who You are—^(G)the Holy One of God!” ³⁵ But Jesus ^(H)rebuked him, 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 began 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 news about Him was spreading into every locality of the surrounding region.

Many Are Healed

^38 (K)Then He got up and left the synagogue, and entered Simon’s home. Now Simon’s mother-in-law was ^(L)suffering from a high fever, and they asked Him ^[f]to help her. ³⁹ And standing over her, He ^(M)rebuked the fever, and it left her; and she immediately got up and served them.

^40 (N)Now while ^(O)the sun was setting, all those who had any who were sick with various diseases brought them to Him; and He was ^(P)laying His hands on each one of them and ^(Q)healing them. ⁴¹ Demons also were coming out of many, shouting, “You are ^(R)the Son of God!” And yet He was ^(S)rebuking them and would ^(T)not allow them to speak, because they knew that He was the ^[g]Christ.

^42 (U)Now when day came, Jesus left and went to a secluded place; and the crowds were searching for Him, and they came to Him and tried to keep Him from leaving them. ⁴³ But He said to them, “I must also preach the kingdom of God to the other cities, ^(V)because I was sent for this purpose.”

⁴⁴ So He kept on preaching in the synagogues ^(W)of ^[h]Judea.
