Just then there was a man in their synagogue with an unclean spirit, and he cried out,
“When an unclean spirit goes out of a person, it passes through waterless places looking for rest but does not find it.
The people there were amazed by his teaching, because he taught them like one who had authority, not like the experts in the law.
“Leave us alone, Jesus the Nazarene! Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are – the Holy One of God!”
Now as soon as they left the synagogue, they entered Simon and Andrew’s house, with James and John.
So he healed many who were sick with various diseases and drove out many demons. But he would not permit the demons to speak, because they knew him.
So he went into all of Galilee preaching in their synagogues and casting out demons.
Just as Jesus was getting out of the boat, a man with an unclean spirit came from the tombs and met him.
Instead, a woman whose young daughter had an unclean spirit immediately heard about him and came and fell at his feet.
Now when Jesus saw that a crowd was quickly gathering, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, “Mute and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him and never enter him again.”
