Jesus Heals a Man with an Unclean Spirit(A)

31 Then Jesus[a] went down to Capernaum, a city in Galilee, and began teaching the people[b] on Sabbath days.[c] 32 They were utterly amazed at what he taught, because his message was spoken[d] with authority.

33 In the synagogue was a man who had a demon.[e] He screamed with a loud voice, 34 “Oh, no! 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!”

35 But Jesus rebuked him. “Be quiet,” he said, “and come out of him!” At this, the demon threw the man[f] down in the middle of the synagogue[g] and came out of him without hurting him.
