Mark 1:21-34 ▼

21 And they went into Capernaum; and immediately, on the sabbath, he entered the synagogue, and taught.

22 And they were astonished at his teaching; for he taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes.

23 And there was in their synagogue a man who had an unclean spirit; and he cried out,

24 saying: Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Nazarene? Hast thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God.

25 And Jesus rebuked him, saying: Be silent, and come out of him.

26 And the unclean spirit threw him into convulsions, and cried with a loud voice, and came out of him.

27 And all were amazed, so that they questioned one another, saying: What means this? What new teaching is this, that with authority he commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him?

28 And his fame immediately went abroad into all the surrounding country of Galilee.

29 And forthwith, having gone out of the synagogue, they went into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.

30 Now the mother-in-law of Simon lay sick of a fever. And at once they told him of her.

31 And he went to her, and took her by the hand, and raised her up, and the fever left her instantly; and she ministered to them.

32 And at evening, when the sun had gone down, they brought to him all that were sick, and those who were possessed with demons.

33 And the whole city came together to the door.

34 And he cured many that were sick of various diseases, and cast out many demons, and did not suffer the demons to speak, because they knew him.
