Jumping up, they mobbed him and forced him to the edge of the hill on which the town was built. They intended to push him over the cliff, 30but he passed right through the crowd and went on his way.

“Come, follow me, and I will show you how to fish for people!” 20And they left their nets at once and followed him.

Suddenly, a man in the synagogue who was possessed by an evil1:23 Greek unclean; also in 1:26, 27. spirit cried out, 24“Why are you interfering with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God!”

So Jesus healed many people who were sick with various diseases, and he cast out many demons. But because the demons knew who he was, he did not allow them to speak.

Lord God my Father,

Help me to accept you in all areas, I want to follow you without baggage to confuse me. May your Truth overwhelm any lie I allow to rest on me, Heal me completely to your original design.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
