  ²On the first day of every week, let each one of you save, as he may prosper, that no collections are made when I come.

  ³¹He came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee. He was teaching them on the Sabbath day,

  ³²and they were astonished at his teaching, for his word was with authority.

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

  ³⁴saying, “Ah! what have we to do with you, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are: the Holy One of God!”

  ³⁵Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be silent, and come out of him!” When the demon had thrown him down in the middle of them, he came out of him, having done him no harm.

  ³⁶Amazement came on all, and they spoke together, one with another, saying, “What is this word? For with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits, and they come out!”
