Jesus' Authority in Capernaum

21

They entered K'far-Nachum, and on Shabbat Yeshua went into the synagogue and began teaching.

22

They were amazed at the way he taught, for he did not instruct them like the Torah-teachers but as one who had authority himself.

23

In their synagogue just then was a man with an unclean spirit in him, who shouted,

24

"What do you want with us, Yeshua from Natzeret? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are -- the Holy One of God!"

25

But Yeshua rebuked the unclean spirit, "Be quiet and come out of him!"

26

Throwing the man into a convulsion, it gave a loud shriek and came out of him.

27

They were all so astounded that they began asking each other, "What is this? A new teaching, one with authority behind it! He gives orders even to the unclean spirits, and they obey him!"

28

And the news about him spread quickly through the whole region of the Galil.
