Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God!” ²⁵And Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be silent, and come out of him!” ²⁶And after^* convulsing him and crying out with a loud voice, the unclean spirit came out of him. ²⁷And they were all amazed, so that they began to discuss with one another, saying, “What is this? A new teaching with authority! He even commands the unclean spirits and they obey him.” ²⁸And the report about him then went out everywhere in the whole surrounding region of Galilee.

³²Now when it^* was evening, when the sun had set, they began bringing^j to him all those who were sick^k and those who were demon-possessed. ³³And the whole town was gathered together at the door. ³⁴And he healed many who were sick^l with various diseases and expelled many demons. And he did not permit the demons to speak, because they knew him.
