Driving Out an Unclean Spirit
21 Then(A) they went into Capernaum,(B) and right away He entered the synagogue(C) on the Sabbath(D) and began to teach.(E) 22 They were astonished(F) at His teaching(G) because, unlike the scribes,(H) He was teaching them as one having authority.
23 Just then a man with an unclean(I) spirit(J) was in their synagogue.(K) He cried out,[a] 24 “What do You have to do with us,[b] Jesus—Nazarene?(L) Have You come to destroy(M) us? I know who You are—the Holy(N) One of God!”(O)
25 But Jesus rebuked(P) him and said, “Be quiet,[c](Q) and come out of him!” 26 And the unclean spirit convulsed him,(R) shouted with a loud voice, and came out of him.
27 Then they were all amazed,(S) so they began to argue(T) with one another, saying, “What is this? A new teaching(U) with authority He commands even the unclean(W) spirits,(X) and they obey Him.” 28 News about Him then spread throughout the entire vicinity of Galilee.(Y)
Healings at Capernaum
29 As(Z) soon as they left the synagogue,(AA) they went into Simon(AB) and Andrew’s(AC) house(AD) with James(AE) and John.(AF) 30 Simon’s mother-in-law was lying in bed with a fever, and they told Him about her at once. 31 So He went to her, took her by the hand, and raised her up.(AG) The fever(AH) left her,[e] and she began to serve(AI) them.(AJ)
32 When(AK) evening came, after the sun had set, they began bringing to Him all those who were sick(AL) and those who were demon-possessed.(AM) 33 The whole town was assembled at the door, 34 and He healed(AN) many who were sick with various diseases(AO) and drove out(AP) many demons.(AQ) But He would not permit the demons to speak, because they knew Him.(AR)
Preaching in Galilee
35 Very(AS) early in the morning, while it was still dark, He got up, went out, and made His way to a deserted place.(AT) And He was praying(AU) there. 36 Simon(AV) and his companions went searching for Him. 37 They found Him and said, “Everyone’s looking for You!”
38 And He said to them, “Let’s go on to the neighboring villages so that I may preach(AW) there too. This is why I have come.”

Jesus Drives Out an Impure Spirit(A)
21 They went to Capernaum, and when the Sabbath came, Jesus went into the synagogue and began to teach.(B) 22 The people were amazed at his teaching, because he taught them as one who had authority, not as the teachers of the law.(C) 23 Just then a man in their synagogue who was possessed by an impure spirit cried out, 24 “What do you want with us,(D) Jesus of Nazareth?(E) Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God!”(F)
25 “Be quiet!” said Jesus sternly. “Come out of him!”(G) 26 The impure spirit shook the man violently and came out of him with a shriek.(H)
27 The people were all so amazed(I) that they asked each other, “What is this? A new teaching—and with authority! He even gives orders to impure spirits and they obey him.” 28 News about him spread quickly over the whole region(J) of Galilee.
Jesus Heals Many(K)(L)
29 As soon as they left the synagogue,(M) they went with James and John to the home of Simon and Andrew. 30 Simon’s mother-in-law was in bed with a fever, and they immediately told Jesus about her. 31 So he went to her, took her hand and helped her up.(N) The fever left her and she began to wait on them.
32 That evening after sunset the people brought to Jesus all the sick and demon-possessed.(O) 33 The whole town gathered at the door, 34 and Jesus healed many who had various diseases.(P) He also drove out many demons, but he would not let the demons speak because they knew who he was.(Q)
Jesus Prays in a Solitary Place(R)
35 Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed.(S) 36 Simon and his companions went to look for him, 37 and when they found him, they exclaimed: “Everyone is looking for you!”
38 Jesus replied, “Let us go somewhere else—to the nearby villages—so I can preach there also. That is why I have come.”(T)
