Jesus Teaches and Heals Many in Capernaum

31 And he came down to Capernaum, a town of Galilee, and was teaching them on the Sabbath. 32 And they were astounded at his teaching, because he spoke[fn] with authority.

33 And in the synagogue there was a man who had the spirit of an unclean demon,[fn] and he cried out with a loud voice, 34 “Ha! Leave us alone,[fn] Jesus the Nazarene! Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God!” 35 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be silent and come out of him!” And after[fn] throwing him down in their midst, the demon came out of him without hurting him at all. 36 And amazement came upon them all, and they began to talk[fn] with one another, saying, “What word[fn]is this? For he commands the unclean spirits with authority and power, and they come out!” 37 And news about him went out into every place of the surrounding region.

38 And after he[fn] set out from the synagogue, he went into Simon’s house. And Simon’s mother-in-law was afflicted with a high fever, and they asked him on behalf of her. 39 And he stood over her and[fn] rebuked the fever, and it left her. And immediately she got upand[fn] began to serve[fn] them.

40 Now as[fn] the sun was setting, all who had those who were sick with various diseases brought them to him, and placinghis[fn] hands on every one of them, he healed them. 41 And demons also were coming out of many, crying out and saying, “You are the Son of God!” And he rebuked them[fn]and did not permit them to speak, because they knew that he was the Christ.[fn]

42 And when it[fn] was day, he departedand[fn] went to an isolated place. And the crowds were seeking him, and came to him and were trying to prevent him from departing from them. 43 But he said to them, “It is necessary for me to proclaim the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns also, because I was sent for this purpose. 44 And he was preaching in the synagogues of Judea.
