New International Version

Jesus Drives Out an Impure Spirit^(A)

²¹They went to Capernaum, and when the Sabbath came, Jesus went into the synagogue and began to teach.^(B) ²²The people were amazed at his teaching, because he taught them as one who had authority, not as the teachers of the law.^(C) ²³Just then a man in their synagogue who was possessed by an impure spirit cried out, ²⁴“What do you want with us,^(D) Jesus of Nazareth?^(E) Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God!”^(F)

²⁵“Be quiet!” said Jesus sternly. “Come out of him!”^(G) ²⁶The impure spirit shook the man violently and came out of him with a shriek.^(H)

²⁷The people were all so amazed^(I) that they asked each other, “What is this? A new teaching—and with authority! He even gives orders to impure spirits and they obey him.” ²⁸News about him spread quickly over the whole region^(J) of Galilee.
