Luke 4:34 In-Context

32 They were amazed at his teaching, because his message had authority.
33 In the synagogue there was a man controlled by a demon, an evil spirit. He cried out at the top of his voice.
34 "Ha!" he said. "What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are. You are the Holy One of God!"
35 "Be quiet!" Jesus said firmly. "Come out of him!" Then the demon threw the man down in front of everybody. And it came out without hurting him.
36 All the people were amazed. They said to each other, "What is this teaching? With authority and power he gives orders to evil spirits. And they come out!"
