New International Version NIV
23 And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit, and he cried out,
23
Just then a man in their synagogue who was possessed by an impure spirit cried out,
24 saying, `Away! what -- to us and to thee, Jesus the Nazarene? thou didst come to destroy us; I have known thee who thou art -- the Holy One of God.'
24
“What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God!”
25 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, `Be silenced, and come forth out of him,'
25
“Be quiet!” said Jesus sternly. “Come out of him!”
26 and the unclean spirit having torn him, and having cried with a great voice, came forth out of him,
26
The impure spirit shook the man violently and came out of him with a shriek.
27 and they were all amazed, so as to reason among themselves, saying, `What is this? what new teaching [is] this? that with authority also the unclean spirits he commandeth, and they obey him!'
27
The people were all so amazed that they asked each other, “What is this? A new teaching—and with authority! He even gives orders to impure spirits and they obey him.”
28 And the fame of him went forth immediately to all the region, round about, of Galilee.
28
News about him spread quickly over the whole region of Galilee.
29 And immediately, having come forth out of the synagogue, they went to the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John,
29
As soon as they left the synagogue, they went with James and John to the home of Simon and Andrew.
30 and the mother-in-law of Simon was lying fevered, and immediately they tell him about her,
30
Simon’s mother-in-law was in bed with a fever, and they immediately told Jesus about her.
31 and having come near, he raised her up, having laid hold of her hand, and the fever left her immediately, and she was ministering to them.
31
So he went to her, took her hand and helped her up. The fever left her and she began to wait on them.
32 And evening having come, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all who were ill, and who were demoniacs,
32
That evening after sunset the people brought to Jesus all the sick and demon-possessed.
33 and the whole city was gathered together near the door,
33
The whole town gathered at the door,
34 and he healed many who were ill of manifold diseases, and many demons he cast forth, and was not suffering the demons to speak, because they knew him.
34
and Jesus healed many who had various diseases. He also drove out many demons, but he would not let the demons speak because they knew who he was.
35 And very early, it being yet night, having risen, he went forth, and went away to a desert place, and was there praying;
35
Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed.
36 and Simon and those with him went in quest of him,
36
Simon and his companions went to look for him,
37 and having found him, they say to him, -- `All do seek thee;'
37
and when they found him, they exclaimed: “Everyone is looking for you!”
38 and he saith to them, `We may go to the next towns, that there also I may preach, for for this I came forth.'
38
Jesus replied, “Let us go somewhere else—to the nearby villages—so I can preach there also. That is why I have come.”
39 And he was preaching in their synagogues, in all Galilee, and is casting out the demons,
39
So he traveled throughout Galilee, preaching in their synagogues and driving out demons.
40 and there doth come to him a leper, calling on him, and kneeling to him, and saying to him -- `If thou mayest will, thou art able to cleanse me.'
40
A man with leprosy came to him and begged him on his knees, “If you are willing, you can make me clean.”
41 And Jesus having been moved with compassion, having stretched forth the hand, touched him, and saith to him, `I will; be thou cleansed;'
41
Jesus was indignant. He reached out his hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” he said. “Be clean!”
42 and he having spoken, immediately the leprosy went away from him, and he was cleansed.
42
Immediately the leprosy left him and he was cleansed.
43 And having sternly charged him, immediately he put him forth,
43
Jesus sent him away at once with a strong warning:
44 and saith to him, `See thou mayest say nothing to any one, but go away, thyself shew to the priest, and bring near for thy cleansing the things Moses directed, for a testimony to them.'
44
“See that you don’t tell this to anyone. But go, show yourself to the priest and offer the sacrifices that Moses commanded for your cleansing, as a testimony to them.”
45 And he, having gone forth, began to proclaim much, and to spread abroad the thing, so that no more he was able openly to enter into the city, but he was without in desert places, and they were coming unto him from every quarter.
45
Instead he went out and began to talk freely, spreading the news. As a result, Jesus could no longer enter a town openly but stayed outside in lonely places. Yet the people still came to him from everywhere.
