I have baptized you with water, but He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.”

As soon as He came up out of the water, He saw the heavens being torn open and the Spirit descending to Him like a dove.

Immediately the Spirit drove Him into the wilderness.

Just then a man with an unclean spirit was in their synagogue. He cried out,

And the unclean spirit convulsed him, shouted with a loud voice, and came out of him.

News about Him then spread throughout the entire vicinity of Galilee.

Yet he went out and began to proclaim it widely and to spread the news, with the result that Jesus could no longer enter a town openly. But He was out in deserted places, and they would come to Him from everywhere.

Right away Jesus understood in His spirit that they were thinking like this within themselves and said to them, “Why are you thinking these things in your hearts?

But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin”—

because they were saying, “He has an unclean spirit.”

As soon as He got out of the boat, a man with an unclean spirit came out of the tombs and met Him.

For He had told him, “Come out of the man, you unclean spirit!”

Instead, immediately after hearing about Him, a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit came and fell at His feet.

But sighing deeply in His spirit, He said, “Why does this generation demand a sign? I assure you: No sign will be given to this generation!”

Out of the crowd, one man answered Him, “Teacher, I brought my son to You. He has a spirit that makes him unable to speak.

So they brought him to Him. When the spirit saw Him, it immediately convulsed the boy. He fell to the ground and rolled around, foaming at the mouth.

When Jesus saw that a crowd was rapidly coming together, He rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, “You mute and deaf spirit, I command you: come out of him and never enter him again!”

Many people spread their robes on the road, and others spread leafy branches cut from the fields.

David himself says by the Holy Spirit:

The Lord declared to my Lord,
‘Sit at My right hand
until I put Your enemies under Your feet.’

So when they arrest you and hand you over, don’t worry beforehand what you will say. On the contrary, whatever is given to you in that hour—say it. For it isn’t you speaking, but the Holy Spirit.

Stay awake and pray so that you won’t enter into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
