24. "What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are. You are the holy one from God."
25. "Silence!" Jesus said, speaking harshly to the demon. "Come out of him!"
26. The unclean spirit shook him and screamed, then it came out.
27. Everyone was shaken and questioned among themselves, "What’s this? A new teaching with authority! He even commands unclean spirits and they obey him!"
28. Right away the news about him spread throughout the entire region of Galilee.
29. After leaving the synagogue, Jesus, James, and John went home with Simon and Andrew.
30. Simon’s mother-in-law was in bed, sick with a fever, and they told Jesus about her at once.
31. He went to her, took her by the hand, and raised her up. The fever left her, and she served them.
