21Then Jesus and His companions went to Capernaum, and right away Jesus entered the synagogue on the Sabbath and began to teach.
22The people were astonished at His teaching, because He taught as one who had authority, and not as the scribes.
23Suddenly a man with an unclean spirit cried out in the synagogue:
24“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!”
25But Jesus rebuked the spirit. “Be silent!” He said. “Come out of him!”
26At this, the unclean spirit threw the man into convulsions and came out with a loud shriek.
27All the people were amazed and began to ask one another, “What is this? A new teaching with authority! He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey Him!”
28And the news about Jesus spread quickly through the whole region of Galilee.
29As soon as Jesus and His companions had left the synagogue, they went with James and John to the home of Simon and Andrew.
30Simon’s mother-in-law was sick in bed with a fever, and they promptly told Jesus about her.
31So He went to her, took her by the hand, and helped her up. The fever left her, and she began to serve them.
32That evening, after sunset, people brought to Jesus all who were sick and demon-possessed,
33and the whole town gathered at the door.
34And He healed many who were ill with various diseases and drove out many demons. But He would not allow the demons to speak, because they knew who He was.
