He Spoke with Authority, Mark 1:21-28 - September 20, 2020 Mark 1 : 21 21Then they went into Capernaum, and immediately on the Sabbath He entered the synagogue and taught. Mark 5 : 22-23 22And behold, one of the rulers of the synagogue came, Jairus by name. And when he saw Him,he fell at His feet 23and begged Him earnestly, saying, “My little daughter lies at the point of death.Come and lay Your hands on her, that she may be healed, and she will live.” Acts 13 : 14-16 14But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antioch in Pisidia,and went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day and sat down.15And after the reading of the Law and the Prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying,“Men and brethren, if you have any word of exhortation for the people, say on.”16Then Paul stood up, and motioning with his hand said, “Men of Israel, and you who fear God, listen: Acts 14 : 1 1Now it happened in Iconium that they went together to the synagogue of the Jews, and so spoke that a great multitude both of the Jews and of the Greeks believed. Acts 17 : 1-4 they came to Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews. 2Then Paul, as his custom was, went in to them,and for three Sabbaths reasoned with them from the Scriptures, 3explaining and demonstrating that the Christ had to suffer and rise again from the dead, and saying, “This Jesus whom I preach to you is the Christ.” 4And some of them were persuaded; and a great multitude of the devout Greeks, and not a few of the leading women, joined Paul and Silas. Mark 1 : 22-24 22And they were astonished at His teaching, for He taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes. 23Now there was a man in their synagogue with an unclean spirit. And he cried out, 24saying, “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!” James 2 : 18-19 18But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works. 19You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble! Mark 1 : 25-26 25But Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be quiet, and come out of him!” 26And when the unclean spirit had convulsed him and cried out with a loud voice, he came out of him. Acts 16 : 16-18 16Now it happened, as we went to prayer, that a certain slave girl possessed with a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much profit by fortune-telling. 17This girl followed Paul and us, and cried out, saying, “These men are the servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us the way of salvation.” 18And this she did for many days. But Paul, greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, “I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her.” And he came out that very hour. Mark 1 : 27-28 27Then they were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying, “What is this? What new doctrine is this? For with authority He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey Him.” 28And immediately His fame spread throughout all the region around Galilee.
