26Yet Elijah was not sent to any of them, but to the widow of Zarephath in Sidon.
27And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet. Yet not one of them was cleansed — only Naaman the Syrian.”
28On hearing this, all the people in the synagogue were enraged.
29They got up, drove Him out of the town, and led Him to the brow of the hill on which the town was built, in order to throw Him over the cliff.
30But Jesus passed through the crowd and went on His way.
31Then He went down to Capernaum, a town in Galilee, and on the Sabbath He began to teach the people.
32They were astonished at His teaching, because His message had authority.
33In the synagogue there was a man possessed by the spirit of an unclean demon. He cried out in a loud voice,
34“Ha! What do You want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have You come to destroy us? I know who You are — the Holy One of God!”
35But Jesus rebuked the demon. “Be silent!” He said. “Come out of him!” At this, the demon threw the man down before them all and came out without harming him.
36All the people were overcome with amazement and asked one another, “What is this message? With authority and power He commands the unclean spirits, and they come out!”
37And the news about Jesus spread throughout the surrounding region.
38After Jesus had left the synagogue, He went to the home of Simon, whose mother-in-law was suffering from a high fever. So they appealed to Jesus on her behalf,
39and He stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her. And she got up at once and began to serve them.
