Luke 4:31-37

New International Version

Jesus Drives Out an Impure Spirit^(A)

³¹Then he went down to Capernaum,^(B) a town in Galilee, and on the Sabbath he taught the people. ³²They were amazed at his teaching,^(C) because his words had authority.^(D)

³³In the synagogue there was a man possessed by a demon, an impure spirit. He cried out at the top of his voice, ³⁴“Go away! What do you want with us,^(E) Jesus of Nazareth?^(F) Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are^(G)—the Holy One of God!”^(H)

³⁵“Be quiet!” Jesus said sternly.^(I) “Come out of him!” Then the demon threw the man down before them all and came out without injuring him.

³⁶All the people were amazed^(J) and said to each other, “What words these are! With authority^(K) and power he gives orders to impure spirits and they come out!” ³⁷And the news about him spread throughout the surrounding area.^(L)
