NARRATOR 1: Jesus and his followers arrived in Capernaum, and at once on the Sabbath he went into the synagogue and began to teach.
NARRATOR 2: The people were amazed at his teaching because he taught with authority, not like the scribes.
NARRATOR 1: There was a man in their synagogue with an unholy spirit. He shrieked aloud.
MAN: What do we have in common, Jesus of Nazareth? Why do you interfere? I know who you are—the Holy One of God.
JESUS: Be silent. Come out of the man.
NARRATOR 2: At that the unholy spirit convulsed the man violently and with a loud cry came out of him.
NARRATOR 1: This so astounded the people that they began to question among themselves.
PEOPLE: What is this? What new teaching is this that with authority he commands even unholy spirits and they obey!
NARRATOR 2: His reputation spread immediately throughout the surrounding region in Galilee.
