33 A man in the synagogue had the spirit of an unclean demon. He screamed,
34 "Hey! 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."
35 "Silence!" Jesus said, speaking harshly to the demon. "Come out of him!" The demon threw the man down before them, then came out of him without harming him.
36 They were all shaken and said to each other, "What kind of word is this, that he can command unclean spirits with authority and power, and they leave?"
37 Reports about him spread everywhere in the surrounding region.
38 After leaving the synagogue, Jesus went home with Simon. Simon’s mother-in-law was sick with a high fever, and the family asked Jesus to help her.
39 He bent over her and spoke harshly to the fever, and it left her. She got up at once and served them.
