Luke 4:33

Luke 4:33 says, And in the synagogue there was a man, which had a spirit of an unclean devil, and cried out with a loud voice,  Verse thirty-four adds, Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art; the Holy One of God.  In the synagogue where Jesus was teaching, there was a man filled with an unclean devil.  Not all people in the synagogue were really there to worship, and not all people in church are there to worship today.  The devil in the the man recognized Who Jesus was, the Son of God, and asked what Jesus had to do with them.  Verse thirty-five declares, And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. And when the devil had thrown him in the midst, he came out of him, and hurt him not.  Jesus told the devil to hold his peace and come out of the man, and he did.  When we accept Jesus Christ as our Savior and Lord, He casts out all our demons as long as we continue to put our faith in Him.  Verse thirty-six adds, And they were all amazed, and spake among themselves, saying, What a word is this! for with authority and power he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they come out.  The people in the synagogue asked where Jesus got His power, because they, unlike the unclean devil, did not recognize Jesus for Who He is, the Son of God.  Those who have not accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord are still often amazed when He performs a miraculous work today, but the Devil never is.  Verse thirty-seven states, And the fame of him went out into every place of the country round about.  Jesus's fame spread, and we are to spread His name as the only Savior today.  .
