¹⁷ This was to fulfill^(A) what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah:

³³ In the synagogue there was a man possessed by a demon, an impure spirit. He cried out at the top of his voice,

¹⁸ who had come to hear him and to be healed of their diseases. Those troubled by impure spirits were cured,

²¹ At that very time Jesus cured many who had diseases, sicknesses^(A) and evil spirits, and gave sight to many who were blind.

² and also some women who had been cured of evil spirits and diseases: Mary (called Magdalene)^(A) from whom seven demons had come out;

²⁹ For Jesus had commanded the impure spirit to come out of the man. Many times it had seized him, and though he was chained hand and foot and kept under guard, he had broken his chains and had been driven by the demon into solitary places.

³⁹ A spirit seizes him and he suddenly screams; it throws him into convulsions so that he foams at the mouth. It scarcely ever leaves him and is destroying him.
