Mark 1:21-34 ▼

21 They went into Capernaum; and immediately on the Sabbath Jesus entered the synagogue and began to teach.

22 And 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, “What business do you have with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have You come to destroy us? I know who You are: 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 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.

29 And immediately after they left the synagogue, they entered the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.

30 Now Simon’s mother-in-law was lying sick with a fever; and they immediately spoke to Jesus about her.

31 And He came to her and raised her up, taking her by the hand, and the fever left her, and she served them.

32 Now when evening came, after the sun had set, they began bringing to Him all who were ill and those who were demon-possessed.

33 And the whole city had gathered at the door.

34 And He healed many who were ill with various diseases, and cast out many demons; and He would not permit the demons to speak, because they knew who He was.
