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

Immediately coming up out of the water, He saw the heavens opening, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon Him;

Immediately the Spirit *impelled Him to go out into the wilderness.

Just then there was a man in their synagogue with an unclean spirit; and he cried out,

Throwing him into convulsions, the unclean spirit cried out with a loud voice and came out of him.

Immediately the news about Him spread everywhere into all the surrounding district of Galilee.

But he went out and began to proclaim it freely and to spread the news around, to such an extent that Jesus could no longer publicly enter a city, but stayed out in unpopulated areas; and they were coming to Him from everywhere.

Immediately Jesus, aware in His spirit that they were reasoning that way within themselves, *said to them, “Why are you reasoning about 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.”

When He got out of the boat, immediately a man from the tombs with an unclean spirit met Him,

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

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

Sighing deeply in His spirit, He *said, “Why does this generation seek for a sign? Truly I say to you, no sign will be given to this generation.”

And one of the crowd answered Him, “Teacher, I brought You my son, possessed with a spirit which makes him mute;

They brought the boy to Him. When he saw Him, immediately the spirit threw him into a convulsion, and falling to the ground, he began rolling around and foaming at the mouth.

When Jesus saw that a crowd was rapidly gathering, He rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, “You deaf and mute spirit, I command you, come out of him and do not enter him again.”

And many spread their coats in the road, and others spread leafy branches which they had cut from the fields.

David himself said in the Holy Spirit,
‘The Lord said to my Lord,
“Sit at My right hand,
Until I put Your enemies beneath Your feet.”’

When they arrest you and hand you over, do not worry beforehand about what you are to say, but say whatever is given you in that hour; for it is not you who speak, but it is the Holy Spirit.

Keep watching and praying that you may not come into temptation; the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
