Mark 1:21-45

21And they went into Capernaum; and immediately on the sabbath he entered into the synagogue, and taught. 22And they were astonished at his doctrine: for he taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes.

23And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out, 24Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God. 25And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. 26And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a loud voice, he came out of him. 27And they were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying, What thing is this? what new doctrine is this? for with authority he commandeth even the unclean spirits, and they obey him. 28And immediately his fame spread abroad throughout all the region surrounding Galilee.

29And immediately, when they had come out of the synagogue, they entered into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. 30But the mother of Simon’s wife lay sick with a fever, and immediately they tell him of her. 31And he came and took her by the hand, and lifted her up; and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered to them. 32And at evening, when the sun had set, they brought to him all that were diseased, and them that were possessed with demons. 33And all the city was gathered together at the door. 34And he healed many that were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons; and permitted not the demons to speak, because they knew him.1 35And in the morning, rising a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed. 36And Simon and they that were with him followed after him. 37And when they had found him, they said to him, All men seek for thee. 38And he said to them, Let us go into the next towns, that I may preach there also: for this purpose have I come. 39And he preached in their synagogues throughout all Galilee, and cast out demons.

40And there came a leper to him, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying to him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. 41And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his hand, and touched him, and saith to him, I will; be thou clean. 42And as soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed. 43And he strictly charged him, and immediately sent him away; 44And saith to him, See thou say nothing to any man: but go, show thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing those things which Moses commanded, for a testimony to them. 45But he went out, and began to proclaim it freely, and to blaze abroad the matter, so that Jesus could no more openly enter into the city, but was without in desert places: and they came to him from every quarter.
