I have baptized you in water, but he will baptize you in the holy Spirit."

And just as he was coming up out of the water he saw the heavens torn open and the Spirit coming down like a dove to enter into him,

The spirit immediately drove him out into the desert.

Just then there was in their synagogue a man under the control of a foul spirit, and he cried out,

The foul spirit convulsed the man and gave a loud cry and went out of him.

And his fame immediately spread in all directions through the whole neighborhood of Galilee.

But he went off and began to talk so much about it, and to spread the story so widely, that Jesus could no longer go into a town openly, but stayed out in unfrequented places, and people came to him from every direction.

Jesus, at once perceiving by his spirit that they were pondering over this, said to them, "Why do you ponder over this in your minds?

But whoever reviles the holy Spirit can never be forgiven, but is guilty of an unending sin."

This was because they said, "He is possessed by a foul spirit."

As soon as he got out of the boat, a man possessed by a foul spirit came out of the burial places near by to meet him.

For he was saying to him, "You foul spirit, come out of this man."

And the men who tended them ran away and spread the news in the town and in the country around, and the people came to see what had happened.

but a woman whose little daughter was possessed by a foul spirit immediately heard about him and came and threw herself at his feet.

And Jesus forbade them to tell anyone about it, but the more he forbade them the more they spread the news far and wide.

One of the crowd answered, "Master, I brought my son to you, for he is possessed by a dumb spirit,

And they brought the boy to him. As soon as the spirit saw him, it convulsed the boy, and he fell down on the ground and rolled about, foaming at the mouth.

Then Jesus, seeing that a crowd was rapidly gathering, reproved the foul spirit and said to it, "You deaf and dumb spirit, get out of him, I charge you, and never enter him again!"

And many of the people spread their coats in the road, and others cut straw from the fields and scattered it in his path.

David himself, under the influence of the holy Spirit, said, " 'The Lord has said to my lord, "Sit at my right hand Until I put your enemies under your feet." '

When they are taking you off to trial do not worry beforehand about what you ought to say, but say whatever is given you when the time comes, for it is not you that will speak, but the holy Spirit.

You must all watch, and pray that you may not be subjected to trial. One's spirit is eager, but human nature is weak."

When they had finished making sport of him, they took off the purple cloak and put his own clothes on him. Then they took him out of the city to crucify him.

The high priests too made sport of him to one another with the scribes and said, "He saved others, but he cannot save himself!

At noon darkness spread over the whole country, and lasted until three in the afternoon.
