Mark 1:21-28

Holman Christian Standard Bible

Driving Out an Unclean Spirit

²¹ Then^(A) they went into Capernaum,^(B) and right away He entered the synagogue^(C) on the Sabbath^(D) and began to teach.^{(E) 22} They were astonished^(F) at His teaching^(G) because, unlike the scribes,^(H) He was teaching them as one having authority.

²³ Just then a man with an unclean^(I) spirit^(J) was in their synagogue.^(K) He cried out,^{[a] 24} “What do You have to do with us,^[b] Jesus—Nazarene?^(L) Have You come to destroy^(M) us? I know who You are—the Holy^(N) One of God!”^(O)

²⁵ But Jesus rebuked^(P) him and said, “Be quiet,^[c](Q) and come out of him!” ²⁶ And the unclean spirit convulsed him,^(R) shouted with a loud voice, and came out of him.

²⁷ Then they were all amazed,^(S) so they began to argue^(T) with one another, saying, “What is this? A new teaching^(U) with authority!^[d](V) He commands even the unclean^(W) spirits,^(X) and they obey Him.” ²⁸ News about Him then spread throughout the entire vicinity of Galilee.^(Y)
