Mark 1:21-28

International Standard Version

Jesus Heals a Man with an Unclean Spirit^(A)

²¹ Then they went to Capernaum. As soon as it was the Sabbaths, Jesus^[a] went into the synagogue and began to teach. ²² The people^[b] were utterly amazed at his teaching, because he was teaching them like one with authority, and not like their scribes. ²³ All of a sudden,^[c] there was a man in their synagogue who had an unclean spirit! He screamed, ²⁴ “What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God!”

²⁵ But Jesus rebuked him. “Be quiet,” he ordered, “and come out of him!” ²⁶ At this, the unclean spirit shook the man,^[d] cried out with a loud voice, and came out of him.

²⁷ All the people were so stunned that they kept saying to each other, “What is this? A new teaching with authority! He tells even the unclean spirits what to do, and they obey him!” ²⁸ At once his fame began to spread throughout the surrounding region of Galilee.
