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.

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![d](V) 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)
