Context of Luke 4:33

31Jesus went to a town in Galilee called Capernaum. On the Jewish day of rest, he taught the people there. 32The people were very surprised at the things that Jesus taught them. He spoke with authority. There was a sick man in the meeting place. He had a spirit of a bad demon that was living inside him. The spirit caused the man to shout loudly. 34He said, ‘Jesus from Nazareth, leave us alone! Do not destroy us! I know who you are. You are God's Holy One!’ 35Jesus said to the spirit, ‘Be quiet! Come out of the man!’ Then the bad spirit caused the man to fall to the ground in front of the people. It came out of the man but it did not hurt him.
