What do you want with us Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are. You are the Holy One of God! Jesus rebuked the spirit by saying: Be quiet, and come out of him! The evil spirit shook the man hard, gave a loud scream, and came out of him. The people were all amazed and questioned. What is this? What new doctrine is this? He has authority over the unclean spirits, and they obey him. His fame spread to the entire country of Galilee.

Next he traveled to Capernaum, a city of Galilee. There he taught them on the Sabbath day. They were astonished at his teaching for he spoke with authority. A man in the synagogue had a spirit of an unclean demon. He cried out with a loud voice: read more.
What have we to do with you Jesus, you Nazarene? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are. You are the Holy One of God! Jesus rebuked him, saying: Be quiet and come out of him. When the demon had thrown him down in front of them, he came out of him without harming him. All were amazed and spoke to one another. What is he telling us? For he speaks with authority and with power he commands the unclean spirits and they come out. A rumor concerning him spread to every place of the region.
