Mark 1:21-39

New American Standard Bible

^21 (A)They *went into Capernaum; and immediately on the Sabbath Jesus ^(B)entered the synagogue and began to teach. ²² And ^(C)they were amazed at His teaching; for He was teaching them as one having authority, and not as the scribes. ²³ Just then there was a man in their synagogue with an unclean spirit; and he cried out, ²⁴ saying, “^(D)What ^[a]business do you have with us, Jesus ^[b]of ^(E)Nazareth? Have You come to destroy us? I know who You are: ^(F)the Holy One of God!” ²⁵ And Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be quiet, and come out of him!” ²⁶ After throwing him into convulsions and crying out with a loud voice, the unclean spirit came out of him. ²⁷ And they were all ^(G)amazed, so they debated among themselves, saying, “What is this? A new teaching with authority! He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey Him.” ²⁸ Immediately the news about Him spread everywhere into all the surrounding region of Galilee.

Crowds Healed

^29 (H)And immediately after they left ^(I)the synagogue, they entered the house of Simon and Andrew, with ^[c]James and John. ³⁰ Now Simon’s mother-in-law was lying sick with a fever; and they immediately *spoke to ^[d]Jesus about her. ³¹ And He came to her and raised her up, taking her by the hand, and the fever left her, and she served them.

³² Now ^(J)when evening came, ^(K)after the sun had set, they began bringing to Him all who were ill and those who were ^(L)demon-possessed. ³³ And the whole ^(M)city had gathered at the door. ³⁴ And He ^(N)healed many who were ill with various diseases, and cast out many demons; and He would not permit the demons to speak, because they knew ^[e]who He was.

^35 (O)And in the early morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house, and went away to a secluded place, and ^(P)prayed there for a time. ³⁶ Simon and his companions eagerly searched for Him; ³⁷ and they found Him and *said to Him, “Everyone is looking for You.” ³⁸ He *said to them, “Let’s go somewhere else to the towns nearby, so that I may also ^[f]preach there; for this is why I came.” ^39 (Q)And He went into their synagogues ^[g]preaching throughout Galilee, and casting out the demons.
