01.30.2021 Gospel Mark Chapter 1

Then they came into Capernaum and on the Sabbath day, Jesus entered the synagogue and there he taught them. The people were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them with authority and not as the scribes did. Now in the synagogue on that day, there was a man possessed with an unclean spirit. The spirit cried out, "What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are. You are the holy one of God."

Jesus rebuked the spirit. He said, "Quiet. Come out of the man." And the unclean spirit convulsed the man and with a loud cry came out of him. And all those who observed this were amazed, and they asked one another, "What is this? A new teaching with authority. He commands even the unclean spirits and they obey him." And so Jesus' fame spread throughout the whole region of Galilee.
