Luke 4:31-44.
Luke 4.31-44
A Man with an Evil Spirit
"Jesus went to the town of Capernaum in Galilee and taught the people
on the Sabbath. His teaching amazed them because he spoke with power.
There in the Jewish meeting place was a man with an evil spirit. He
yelled out, "Hey, Jesus of Nazareth, what do you want with us? Are
you here to get rid of us? I know who you are! You are God's Holy
One." Jesus ordered the evil spirit to be quiet and come out. The
demon threw the man to the ground in front of everyone and left
without harming him. They all were amazed and kept saying to each
other, "What kind of teaching is this? He has power to order evil
spirits out of people!" News about Jesus spread all over that part of
the country.
Jesus Heals Many People
Jesus left the meeting place and went to Simon's home. When Jesus got
there, he was told that Simon's mother-in-law was sick with a high
fever. So Jesus went over to her and ordered the fever to go away.
Right then she was able to get up and serve them a meal. After the sun
had set, people with all kinds of diseases were brought to Jesus. He
put his hands on each one of them and healed them. Demons went out of
many people and shouted, "You are the Son of God!" But Jesus ordered
the demons not to speak because they knew he was the Messiah.
The next morning Jesus went out to a place where he could be alone,
and crowds came looking for him. When they found him, they tried to
stop him from leaving. But Jesus said, "People in other towns must
hear the good news about God's kingdom. That's why I was sent." So he
kept on preaching in the Jewish meeting places in Judea."
Father God, forgive my sins. Thank you for sending Jesus Christ down
to die on the cross and for shedding blood for me. Three days later
you resurrected him. I accept that. I invite Jesus Christ into my
heart as my Lord and savior. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
God bless you.
