Luke 4:31-44.
Luke 4:31-44 (Good News Translation)
31Then Jesus went to Capernaum, a town in Galilee, where he taught the
people on the Sabbath.
32They were all amazed at the way he taught, because he spoke
with authority.
33In the synagogue was a man who had the spirit of an evil
demon in him; he screamed out in a loud voice,
34Ah! What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Are you here
to destroy us? I know who you are: you are God's holy messenger!
35Jesus ordered the spirit,
Be quiet and come out of the man! The demon threw the man down
in front of them and went out of him without doing him any harm.
36The people were all amazed and said to one another,
What kind of words are these? With authority and power this man
gives orders to the evil spirits, and they come out!
37And the report about Jesus spread everywhere in that region.
38Jesus left the synagogue and went to Simon's home. Simon's
mother-in-law was sick with a high fever, and they spoke to Jesus about
her.
39He went and stood at her bedside and ordered the fever to
leave her. The fever left her, and she got up at once and began to wait on
them.
40After sunset all who had friends who were sick with various
diseases brought them to Jesus; he placed his hands on every one of them
and healed them all.
41Demons also went out from many people, screaming,
You are the Son of God!
Jesus gave the demons an order and would not let them speak,
because they knew he was the Messiah.
42At daybreak Jesus left the town and went off to a lonely
place. The people started looking for him, and when they found him, they
tried to keep him from leaving.
43But he said to them,
I must preach the Good News about the Kingdom of God in other
towns also, because that is what God sent me to do.
44So he preached in the synagogues throughout the country.
God bless you.
