according to Mark - 4

Pericopae 6&7; contrasting responses; the people & a demonized man. (Overall Jesus' Authority displayed)


They went into Capernaum, and straight-
away in (Sabbath) synagogue he taught.
Authority in teaching quite elate-
ed folk, unlike the Doctors of the Law.

(To confrontation, then the tone was changed.
How would he handle shouting out and such?
For) straightaway a man who was deranged
with unclean spirit, cried out (very much):

"So what have you to do with all us who
are here, you Nazarene? Would you destroy?
I know that you're God's Holy One here too!
But Jesus cut him off (was he annoyed?):

"Shut up (the mouth), get out of him!" he said.
Convulsing him the unclean spirit cries, 
comes out, and leaves the man. The folk then read
amazement, questions, in each other's eyes.

So, "What is this that's hap-pen-ing?" They asked.
"New teaching, with authority." They said.
"He orders unclean spirits, and - so fast
they must obey." And news went on ahead

& straightaway, throughout the Galilee
(, that district of the Jewish landscape, and 
the Roman region in the North, where he
had lived, things "hotted up" throughout that land).



21Καὶ εἰσπορεύονται εἰς Καφαρναούμ· καὶ εὐθὺς τοῖς σάββασιν εἰσελθὼν εἰς τὴν συναγωγὴν ἐδίδασκεν. 22καὶ ἐξεπλήσσοντο ἐπὶ τῇ διδαχῇ αὐτοῦ· ἦν γὰρ διδάσκων αὐτοὺς ὡς ἐξουσίαν ἔχων καὶ οὐχ ὡς οἱ γραμματεῖς. Mark 1:21-22 NA28

23Καὶ εὐθὺς ἦν ἐν τῇ συναγωγῇ αὐτῶν ἄνθρωπος ἐν πνεύματι ἀκαθάρτῳ καὶ ἀνέκραξεν 24λέγων· τί ἡμῖν καὶ σοί, Ἰησοῦ Ναζαρηνέ; ἦλθες ἀπολέσαι ἡμᾶς; οἶδά σε τίς εἶ, ὁ ἅγιος τοῦ θεοῦ. 25καὶ ἐπετίμησεν αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς λέγων· φιμώθητι καὶ ἔξελθε ἐξ αὐτοῦ. 26καὶ σπαράξαν αὐτὸν τὸ πνεῦμα τὸ ἀκάθαρτον καὶ φωνῆσαν φωνῇ μεγάλῃ ἐξῆλθεν ἐξ αὐτοῦ. 27καὶ ἐθαμβήθησαν ἅπαντες ὥστε συζητεῖν πρὸς ἑαυτοὺς λέγοντας· τί ἐστιν τοῦτο; διδαχὴ καινὴ κατ’ ἐξουσίαν· καὶ τοῖς πνεύμασιν τοῖς ἀκαθάρτοις ἐπιτάσσει, καὶ ὑπακούουσιν αὐτῷ. 28καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ἡ ἀκοὴ αὐτοῦ εὐθὺς πανταχοῦ εἰς ὅλην τὴν περίχωρον τῆς Γαλιλαίας. Mark 1:23-28  NA28
