10But to us, God revealed them through the Spirit.For the Spirit searches all things,yes, the deep things of God.11For who among men knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him?Even so, no one knows the things of God except God’s Spirit.12But we received not the spirit of the world,but the Spirit which is from God,that we might know the thingsthat were freely given to us by God.13We also speak these things,not in words which man’s wisdom teachesbut which the Holy Spirit teaches,comparing spiritual things with spiritual things.14Now the natural man doesn’t receive the things of God’s Spirit,for they are foolishness to him;and he can’t know them,because they are spiritually discerned.15But he who is spiritual discerns all things,and he himself is to be judged by no one.16“For who has known the mind of the Lordthat he should instruct him?”But we have Christ’s mind.

8The Lord is gracious, merciful,slow to anger, and of great loving kindness.9The Lord is good to all.His tender mercies are over all his works.

10All your works will give thanks to you, Lord.Your saints will extol you.11They will speak of the glory of your kingdom,and talk about your power,

12to make known to the sons of men his mighty acts,the glory of the majesty of his kingdom.13Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom.Your dominion endures throughout all generations.

13The Lord is faithful in all his words,and loving in all his deeds.14The Lord upholds all who fall,and raises up all those who are bowed down.

31He came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee.He was teaching them on the Sabbath day,32and they were astonished at his teaching,for his word was with authority.33In the synagogue there was a manwho had a spirit of an unclean demon;and he cried out with a loud voice,34saying, “Ah!what have we to do with you, Jesus of Nazareth?Have you come to destroy us?I know who you are:the Holy One of God!”

35Jesus rebuked him,saying, “Be silent and come out of him!”When the demon had thrown him down in the middle of them,he came out of him,having done him no harm.

36Amazement came on all and they spoke together,one with another, saying,“What is this word?For with authorityand power he commands the unclean spirits,and they come out!”37News about him went out into every place of the surrounding region.
