Demons are Cast Out

Mark 1:21–28

31 Then hHe went down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and was teaching them on the Sabbaths. 32 And they were iastonished at His teaching, jfor His word was with authority. 33 kNow in the synagogue there was a man who had a spirit of an unclean demon. And he cried out with a loud voice, 34 saying, “Let us alone! What have we to do with You, Jesus of Nazareth? Did You come to destroy us? lI know who You are—mthe Holy One of God!”

35 But Jesus rebuked him, saying, 5“Be quiet, and come out of him!” And when the demon had thrown him in their midst, it came out of him and did not hurt him. 36 Then they were all amazed and spoke among themselves, saying, “What a word this is! For with authority and power He commands the unclean spirits, and they come out.” 37 And the report about Him went out into every place in the surrounding region.
