Luke 4:31-37
Chapter 4
31
Jesus went down to Capernaum, a town in Galilee, and started teaching the people at the Sabbath gatherings.
32
They were amazed at how he taught them because his words were spoken with authority.
33
In the synagogue, there was a man possessed by an evil spirit who shouted loudly:
34
“What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I recognize you: you are the Holy One of God.”
35
Then Jesus said to him sharply:
“Be silent and leave this man!”
The evil spirit then threw the man down in front of them and came out of him without harming him.
36
Amazement overwhelmed all these people, and they said to one another:
“What does this mean? He commands the evil spirits with authority and power. He orders, and you see how they come out!”
37
And news about Jesus spread throughout the surrounding area.
