thou didst come to destroy us; I have known thee who thou art--the Holy One of God.' 25And Jesus rebuked him, saying, `Be silenced, and come forth out of him,' 26and the unclean spirit having torn him, and having cried with a great voice, came forth out of him, 27and they were all amazed, so as to reason among themselves, saying, `What is this? what new teaching is this? that with authority also the unclean spirits he commandeth, and they obey him!' 28And the fame of him went forth immediately to all the region, round about, of Galilee. 29And immediately, having come forth out of the synagogue, they went to the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John, 30and the mother-in-law of Simon was lying fevered, and immediately they tell him about her, 31and having come near, he raised her up, having laid hold of her hand, and the fever left her immediately, and she was ministering to them. 32And evening having come, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all who were ill, and who were demoniacs, 33and the whole city was gathered together near the door, 34and he healed many who were ill of manifold diseases, and many demons he cast forth, and was not suffering the demons to speak, because they knew him. 35And very early, it being yet night, having risen, he went forth, and went away to a desert place, and was there praying; 36and Simon and those with him went in quest of him, 37and having found him, they say to him, --`All do seek thee;' 38and he saith to them, `We may go to the next towns, that there also I may preach, for for this I came forth.' 39And he was preaching in their synagogues, in all Galilee, and is casting out the demons, 40and there doth come to him a leper, calling on him, and kneeling to him, and saying to him--`If thou mayest will, thou art able to cleanse me.' 41And Jesus having been moved with compassion, having stretched forth the hand, touched him, and saith to him, `I will; be thou cleansed;' 42and he having spoken, immediately the leprosy went away from him, and he was cleansed. 43And having sternly charged him, immediately he put him forth, 44and saith to him, `See thou mayest say nothing to any one, but go away, thyself shew to the priest, and bring near for thy cleansing the things Moses directed, for a testimony to them.' 45And he, having gone forth, began to proclaim much, and to spread abroad the thing, so that no more he was able openly to enter into the city, but he was without in desert places, and they were coming unto him from every quarter.
