Luke 4:25-40

²⁵Further, I can assure you that there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the sky was shut for three years and six months and a severe famine came over all the land;

²⁶yet Elijah was not sent to any of them, but to a widow woman in Sarepta, near Sidon.

²⁷And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of the prophet Elisha, yet not one of them was cleansed—just Naaman the Syrian.”

²⁸Well, upon hearing these things everyone in the synagogue was filled with fury,

²⁹and rising up they drove Him out of the town and took Him to the brow of the hill on which the town was built, in order to throw Him off the cliff.

³⁰But He, passing through the middle of them, went on His way.

³¹Then He went down to Capernaum, a town in Galilee; He started teaching them on the Sabbaths.

³²They kept on being amazed at His teaching, because His word was with authority.

³³Now in the synagogue was a man having a spirit of an unclean demon; he cried out with a loud voice

³⁴saying: “Ugh! What do you want with us, Jesus of Natsareth? Did you come to destroy us? I know who you are, the Holy One of God!”

³⁵So Jesus rebuked him saying, “Be muzzled, and get out of him!” When the demon had thrown him down in the midst, it came out of him without harming him.

³⁶Everyone was taken with amazement and they started conversing together, saying: “What is this word! For with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits, and they come out!”

³⁷And the news about Him started going out to every place of the surrounding region.

³⁸Then He left the synagogue and entered Simon's house. But Simon's mother-in-law was suffering with a high fever, and they requested Him on her behalf.

³⁹So He stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her. Immediately she got up and began to serve them.

⁴⁰Now when the sun was setting, all those who had any who were sick with various diseases brought them to Him; and He laid His hands on each one of them and healed them.
