Now there was a man in their synagogue with an unclean spirit, and he cried out,

saying, "Let us alone! What have we to do with You, Jesus of Nazareth? Did You come to destroy us? I know who You are--the Holy One of God!"

And always, night and day, he was in the mountains and in the tombs, crying out and bruising himself with stones.

But seeing Jesus from a distance, he ran and worshipped Him,

So the demons implored Him, saying, "If You cast us out, permit us to go off into the herd of swine."

And also demons were coming out of many, crying out and saying, "You are the Christ, the Son of God!" And rebuking [them], He did not allow them to speak, because they knew that He was the Messiah.

This girl, following after Paul and us, was crying out, saying, "These men are the servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us the way of salvation."

Then some of the wandering Jews, exorcists, attempted to name the name of the Lord Jesus over those having the evil spirits, saying, "We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preaches."

But the evil spirit answered and said, "Jesus I know, and Paul I am acquainted with; but who are you?"

Now this became known to all both Jews and Greeks who were dwelling in Ephesus; and fear fell upon them all, and they were praising the name of the Lord Jesus.

You believe God is one. You do well. Even the demons believe--and they shudder!

THE BEGINNING OF THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST, THE SON OF GOD.

And approaching Him, the tempter said, "If You are the Son of God, speak so that these stones may become bread."

and said to Him, "If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down. For it is written: 'He shall give His angels orders concerning you,' and, 'In their hands they will lift you up, lest you dash your foot against a stone.'"

And suddenly they cried out, saying, "What have we to do with You, Jesus, Son of God? Have You come here to torment us before the time?"

Then those who were in the boat came and worshipped Him, saying, "Truly You are the Son of God."

And seeing Jesus and crying out, he fell down before Him, and with a loud voice he said, "What have I to do with You, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg You, do not torment me!"
