Mark 1:21 - 1:39

In this exposition on Mark 1:21-1:39 by Steve Gregg, Jesus' teaching in the Capernaum synagogue is highlighted as an example of how Jesus spoke with authority, both with his own knowledge and even when he quoted authorities. The casting out of demons was a tangible display of this authority and evidence that the kingdom of God was coming. The author also notes the possible relationships among Jesus' followers, suggests the reality of demon possession and that it cannot be simply dismissed as pre-scientific belief, and speculates on the identities of several women mentioned in the passage.
