Mark 1:21-34

Christian Standard Bible

Driving Out an Unclean Spirit

²¹ They^(A) 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 he was teaching them as one who had authority, and not like the scribes.

²³ Just then a man with an unclean^(H) spirit^(I) was in their synagogue.^(J) He cried out, ²⁴ “What do you have to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth?^(K) Have you come to destroy^(L) us? I know who you are—the Holy^(M) One of God!” ^(N)

²⁵ Jesus rebuked^(O) him saying, “Be silent,^(P) and come out of him!” ²⁶ And the unclean spirit threw him into convulsions,^(Q) shouted with a loud voice, and came out of him.

²⁷ They were all amazed,^(R) and so they began to ask^(S) each other, “What is this? A new teaching^(T) with authority!^[a](U) He commands even the unclean^(V) spirits,^(W) and they obey him.” ²⁸ At once the news about him spread throughout the entire vicinity of Galilee.^(X)

Healings at Capernaum

²⁹ As^(Y) soon as they left the synagogue,^(Z) they went into Simon^(AA) and Andrew’s^(AB) house^(AC) with James^(AD) and John.^{(AE) 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.^(AF) The fever^(AG) left her,^[b] and she began to serve^(AH) them.^(AI)

³² When^(AJ) evening came, after the sun had set, they brought to him all those who were sick^(AK) and demon-possessed.^{(AL) 33} The whole town was assembled at the door, ³⁴ and he healed^(AM) many who were sick with various diseases^(AN) and drove out^(AO) many demons.^(AP) And he would not permit the demons to speak, because they knew him.^(AQ)
