21 Jesus and his followers went into Capernaum. Immediately on the Sabbath Jesus entered the synagogue and started teaching.
21
They went to Capernaum; and when the sabbath came, he entered the synagogue and taught.
22 The people were amazed by his teaching, for he was teaching them with authority, not like the legal experts.
22
They were astounded at his teaching, for he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.
23 Suddenly, there in the synagogue, a person with an evil spirit screamed,
23
Just then there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit,
24 "What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are. You are the holy one from God."
24
and he cried out, "What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are, the Holy One of God."
25 "Silence!" Jesus said, speaking harshly to the demon. "Come out of him!"
25
But Jesus rebuked him, saying, "Be silent, and come out of him!"
26 The unclean spirit shook him and screamed, then it came out.
26
And the unclean spirit, convulsing him and crying with a loud voice, came out of him.
27 Everyone was shaken and questioned among themselves, "What's this? A new teaching with authority! He even commands unclean spirits and they obey him!"
27
They were all amazed, and they kept on asking one another, "What is this? A new teaching—with authority! He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him."
28 Right away the news about him spread throughout the entire region of Galilee.
28
At once his fame began to spread throughout the surrounding region of Galilee.
