Mark 1:21–2821 Jesus and his disciples went to Capernaum, and when the Sabbath came,Jesus went into the synagogue and began to teach. 22 The people were amazedat his teaching, because he taught them as one who had authority, not as theteachers of the law.23 Just then a man in their synagogue who was possessed by an evil spirit criedout, 24 “What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroyus? I know who you are—the Holy One of God!” 25 “Be quiet!” said Jesus sternly.“Come out of him!” 26 The evil spirit shook the man violently and came out of himwith a shriek.27 The people were all so amazed that they asked each other, “What is this? Anew teaching—and with authority! He even gives orders to evil spirits and theyobey him.” 28 News about him spread quickly over the whole region of Galilee.
