Interwoven Gospels Now Jesus was accustomed to teach on the Sabbath. And they go into Capernaum; and immediately on the Sabbath He entered into the synagogue, and taught: and they were astonished at His teaching, for He taught them the word as one having authority, and not as the scribes. And in the synagogue, there was a man that had a spirit of an unclean demon, and he cried out with a loud voice, saying, "Ah, what have we to do with each other, Jesus, Nazarene? Art Thou come to destroy us? I know Thee who Thou art, the Holy One of God." And Jesus rebuked it, saying, "Hold thy peace and come out of him." And the demon, having convulsed him and thrown him down into the midst and cried with a loud voice, came out of him, having injured him in no respect. And they were all amazed, and talked to one another and questioned among themselves, saying, "What is this word? A new teaching! For with authority and power He commandeth even the unclean spirits and they obey Him and come out." And the report of Him went out straightway everywhere into every place in all the region of Galilee round about. Then rising up from the synagogue, they entered into the house of Simon and Andrew with James and John. Now Simon's mother-in-law was lying sick with a great fever; and straightway they tell Him, and besought Him for her. And coming to her, He stood over her and rebuked the fever, and taking her by the hand, He raised her up and the fever left her; and immediately she arose and ministered to them. Then at evening, when the sun set, they brought to Him all that were sick and those possessed by demons. And the whole city was gathered together at the door. And those that were sick with many kinds of diseases, He laid His hands on every one of them and healed them: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying, "Himself took our infirmities and bore our diseases." And demons also came out from many, crying out and saying, "Thou art the Son of God." And rebuking them, He did not suffer them to speak, because they knew Him to be the Christ.
