Listen to Luke 4:31-44

Jesus Heals a Man with an Unclean Demon

31 ¹And he ²went down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee. And ³he was teaching them ⁴on the Sabbath,

32 and ⁵they were astonished at his teaching, ⁶for his word possessed authority.

33 And ⁷in the synagogue there was a man who had the spirit of an unclean demon, and he cried out with a loud voice,

34 “Ha! ^[a] ⁸What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? ⁹I know who you are— ¹⁰the Holy One of God. ”

35 But Jesus ¹¹rebuked him, saying, “Be silent and come out of him! ”And when the demon had thrown him down in their midst, he came out of him, having done him no harm.

36 And ¹²they were all amazed and said to one another, “What is this word? ¹³For with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits, and they come out! ”

37 And ¹⁴reports about him went out into every place in the surrounding region.

Jesus Heals Many

38 ¹⁵And he arose and left the synagogue and entered Simon’s house. Now ¹⁶Simon’s mother-in-law was ill with a high fever, and they appealed to him on her behalf.

39 And he stood over her and ¹⁷rebuked the fever, and it left her, and immediately she rose and began to serve them.

40 Now when the sun was setting, all those who had any who were sick with various diseases brought them to him, and ¹⁸he laid his hands on every one of them and healed them.

41 ¹⁹And demons also came out of many, ²⁰crying, “You are ²¹the Son of God! ” But he rebuked them and ²²would not allow them to speak, because they knew that he was ²³the Christ.

Jesus Preaches in Synagogues

42 ²⁴And when it was day, he departed and went ²⁵into a desolate place. And ²⁶the people sought him and came to him, and would have kept him from leaving them,

43 but he said to them, ²⁷“I must ²⁸preach the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns as well; for I was sent for this purpose. ”

44 And he was preaching ²⁹in the synagogues of Judea. ^[b]

When Jesus Comes Near - C

When Jesus Comes Near - B

Jack Hibbs

Jesus gives us the real reason for life and living. He exposes the darkness simply through the testimony of who He is. If we were to remove Jesus from our lives, we would have nothing left but emptiness and confusion.
