Ministry in Capernaum So he went down to Capernaum, a town in Galilee, and on the Sabbath he began to teach the people.

Now in the synagogue there was a man who had the spirit of an unclean demon, and he cried out with a loud voice,

34

“Ha! Leave us alone, Jesus the Nazarene! Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are– the Holy One of God.”

But Jesus rebuked him:“Silence! Come out of him!” Then, after the demon threw the man down in their midst, he came out of him without hurting him.
