Luke 4:31-36 (Gospel)

31
Then He went down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and was teaching them on the Sabbaths.
32
And they were astonished at His teaching, for His word was with authority.
33
Now in the synagogue there was a man who had a spirit of an unclean demon. And he cried out with a loud voice,
34
saying, “Let us alone! What have we to do with You, Jesus of Nazareth? Did You come to destroy us? I know who You are – the Holy One of God!”
35
But Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be quiet, and come out of him!” And when the demon had thrown him in their midst, it came out of him and did not hurt him.
36
Then they were all amazed and spoke among themselves, saying, “What a word this is! For with authority and power He commands the unclean spirits, and they come out.”
