Mark 1:21-28

Lexham English Bible

²¹ And they went into Capernaum and immediately on the Sabbath he began to teach in the synagogue.^[a]

A Man with an Unclean Spirit Healed

²² And they were amazed at his teaching, because he was teaching them like one who had authority, and not like the scribes. ²³ And so then there was a man in their synagogue with an unclean spirit, and he cried out, ²⁴ saying, “Leave us alone,^[b] Jesus the Nazarene! Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God!” ²⁵ And Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be silent, and come out of him!” ²⁶ And after^[c] convulsing him and crying out with a loud voice, the unclean spirit came out of him. ²⁷ And they were all amazed, so that they began to discuss with one another, saying, “What is this? A new teaching with authority! He even commands the unclean spirits and they obey him.” ²⁸ And the report about him then went out everywhere in the whole surrounding region of Galilee.
