thoughts on Mark 1.21-28
Jesus' teaching in the synagogue is amazing to the people because it has authority. Authoritative teaching that is not found in the teachers of the law. I wish I could have been in that synagogue in Capernaum and witnessed first hand the way Jesus taught. I wish I could have seen the difference between the way he taught and the way the TotL taught.
What was it about his message that made his teaching amazing?
How could they tell the authority by which he was teaching? (i'm sure some Jewish Rabbinical study would shed light on this.)
A tangible demonstration of his authority in the casting out of the unclean spirit from a man in the synagogue.
New authority.
Not like the teachers of the law.
Casting out evil spirits.
The first stop, recorded in Mark, of Jesus and some of his disciples. I have to think that these guys (Simon, Andrew, James and John) are already thinking that choosing to follow Jesus is going to be a wild ride.
They're just following a rabbi that called them.
They've never heard of any rabbi doing anything like this before.
!muy interesante!
