Mark 1:27

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.

All the people were amazed and began to ask one another, “What is this? A new teaching with authority! He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey Him!”

²⁸ And the news about Jesus spread quickly through the whole region of Galilee.

²⁹ As soon as Jesus and His companions had left the synagogue, they went with James and John to the home of Simon and Andrew.

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.
