Luke 4:32

God's word

30 But Jesus passed through the crowd and went on His way.

31 Then He went down to Capernaum, a town in Galilee, and on the Sabbath He began to teach the people.

They were astonished at His teaching, because His message had authority.

33 In the synagogue there was a man possessed by the spirit of an unclean demon. He cried out in a loud voice,

34 “Ha! What do You want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have You come to destroy us? I know who You are—the Holy One of God!”
