Mark 1:24

²² The people were astonished at His teaching, because He taught as one who had authority, and not as the scribes.

²³ Suddenly a man with an unclean spirit cried out in the synagogue:

“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!”

²⁵ But Jesus rebuked the spirit. “Be silent!” He said. “Come out of him!”

²⁶ At this, the unclean spirit threw the man into convulsions and came out with a loud shriek.

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
