Mark 1:23-27

EasyEnglish Bible

²³ In the meeting place, there was a man who had a bad spirit. The bad spirit caused the man to shout. ²⁴ He said, ‘Jesus from Nazareth, leave us alone! Do not kill us! I know who you are. You are the Holy One and God has sent you.’

²⁵ Jesus said to the bad spirit, ‘Be quiet! Come out of the man!’ ²⁶ The bad spirit caused the man to shake and to fall down. It shouted loudly and then it came out of the man.

²⁷ All the people were very surprised and they said to each other, ‘This is very strange. This man Jesus is teaching us something new and he speaks with authority. He can tell bad spirits what they must do. Then they do it.’
