19 to preach the acceptable year of the Lord.

20 And having closed the book, and given it to the minister, he sat down; and the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on Him.

21 And he began to say to them, 'This day this scripture has been fulfilled which you have heard.'

22 And they all bore witness to him, and marveled at the words of grace that proceeded out of his mouth, and said, 'Is this not Joseph's son?'

23 And he said to them, 'Surely you will say to me, 'Physician! heal Thyself; do here in Thy homeland what we have heard in Capernaum.

24 And he said, Verily I say unto you, no prophet is received in his own country.

25 Verily I say unto you, There were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heavens were shut up three years and six months, so that there was a great famine in all the land,

26 And Elijah was not sent to any of them, but only to the widow in Zarephath of Sidon;

27 And there were also many lepers in Israel under Elisha the prophet, and not one of them was cleansed, except Naaman the Syrian.

30 but he passed through the midst of them, and departed.

31 And he came to Capernaum, the city of Galilee, and taught them on the sabbath days.

32 And they were amazed at his teaching, for his word was with authority.

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

34 Leave it; what have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Thou hast come to destroy us; I know Thee who Thou art, the Holy One of God.

35 Jesus rebuked him, saying, "Be silent and come out of him." And the demon, having cast him down in the midst of the synagogue, came out of him without harming him in the least.

36 And terror fell upon them all, and they reasoned among themselves, What is this that he commandeth the unclean spirits with authority and power, and they go forth?

37 And the word of him went out into all the round places.

38 And when he came out of the synagogue, he went into the house of Simon; Simonov's mother-in-law was possessed by a strong fever; and they asked Him for it.
