As the sun went down that evening, 

people throughout the village 

brought sick family members to Jesus. 

No matter what their diseases were, 

the touch of his hand healed every one. 

Many were possessed by demons; 

and the demons came out at his command, 

shouting, 

“You are the Son of God!” 

But because they knew he was the Messiah, 

he rebuked them and refused to let them speak.

Luke 4:40-41
