Luke 4:31–44

Demons are Cast Out

Mark 1:21–28

³¹Then ^hHe went down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and was teaching them on the Sabbaths. ³²And they were ⁱastonished at His teaching, ^jfor His word was with authority. ^33kNow in the synagogue there was a man who had a spirit of an unclean demon. And he cried out with a loud voice, ³⁴saying, “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!”

³⁵But 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. ³⁶Then 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.” ³⁷And the report about Him went out into every place in the surrounding region.

Peter’s Mother-in-Law Healed

Matt. 8:14, 15; Mark 1:29–31

³⁸ⁿNow He arose from the synagogue and entered Simon’s house. But Simon’s wife’s mother was ⁶sick with a high fever, and they ^omade request of Him concerning her. ³⁹So He stood over her and ^prebuked the fever, and it left her. And immediately she arose and served them.

Jesus Ministers Throughout Galilee

Matt. 4:23–25; 8:16, 17; Mark 1:32–39

^40qWhen the sun was setting, all those who had any that were sick with various diseases brought them to Him; and He laid His hands on every one of them and healed them. ^41rAnd demons also came out of many, crying out and saying, ^s“You are ⁷the Christ, the Son of God!”

And He, ^trebuking them, did not allow them to ⁸speak, for they knew that He was the Christ.

^42uNow when it was day, He departed and went into a deserted place. And the crowd sought Him and came to Him, and tried to keep Him from leaving them; ⁴³but He said to them, “I must ^vpreach the kingdom of God to the other cities also, because for this purpose I have been sent.” ^44wAnd He was preaching in the synagogues of ⁹Galilee.
