¹⁶ When evening came, they brought to Him many who were ^[a]under the power of demons, and He drove out the spirits with a word and restored to health all who were sick.

¹⁷ And thus He fulfilled what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah, He Himself took [^[b]in order to carry away] our weaknesses and infirmities and bore ^[c]away our diseases.^(A)

⁸ Cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, drive out demons. Freely (without pay) you have received, freely (without charge) give.

²⁸ But if it is by the Spirit of God that I drive out the demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you [^[a]before you expected it].

²⁹ Or how can a person go into a strong man’s house and carry off his goods (the entire equipment of his house) without first binding the strong man? Then indeed he may plunder his house.
