New Testament in a Year
23 ¶ [a]And there was in their Synagogue a man [b]in whom was an unclean spirit, and he cried out,
24 Saying, Ah, what have we to do with thee, O [c]Jesus of Nazareth? Art thou come to destroy us? I know thee what thou art, even thou [d]holy one of God.
25 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him.
26 And the unclean spirit [e]tare him, and cried with a loud voice, and came out of him.
27 And they were all amazed, so that they demanded [f]one of another, saying, What thing is this? what new doctrine is this? for he [g]commandeth even the foul spirits with authority, and they obey him.
28 And immediately his fame spread abroad throughout all the region [h]bordering on Galilee.
29 ¶ (A)[i]And as soon as they were come out of the Synagogue, they entered into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
30 And Simon’s wife’s mother lay sick of a fever, and anon they told him of her.
31 And he came and took her by the hand, and lifted her up, and the fever forsook her by and by, and she ministered unto them.
32 And when even was come, at what time the Sun setteth, they brought to him all that were diseased, and them that were possessed with devils.
33 And the whole city was gathered together at the door.
34 And he healed many that were sick of divers diseases: and he cast out many devils, and [j]suffered not the devils to say that they knew him.
35 And in the morning very early before day, Jesus arose and went out into a solitary place, and there prayed.
36 And Simon, and they that were with him, followed carefully after him.
37 And when they had found him, they said unto him, All men seek for thee.
38 Then he said unto them, Let us go into the [k]next towns, that I may preach there also: for I came out for that purpose.
39 And he preached in their Synagogues, throughout all Galilee, and cast the devils out.
40 ¶ (B)[l]And there came a leper to him, beseeching him, and kneeled down unto him, and said to him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
41 And Jesus had compassion, and put forth his hand, and touched him, and said to him, I will: be thou clean.
42 And as soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was made clean.
43 And after he had given him a straight commandment, he sent him away forthwith,
44 [m]And said unto him, See thou say nothing to any man, but get thee hence, and show thyself to the (C)[n]Priest, and offer for thy cleansing those things which Moses commanded, for a testimonial unto them.
45 But when he was departed, (D)he began to tell many things, and to publish the matter: so that Jesus could no more openly enter into the city, but was without in desert places: and they came to him from every quarter.
