Context of Mark 1:24

22The people were amazed at his teachings. Unlike their experts in Moses’ Teachings, he taught them with authority. 23At that time there was a man in the synagogue who was controlled by an evil spirit. He shouted, “What do you want with us, Jesus from Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God!” 25Jesus ordered the spirit, “Keep quiet, and come out of him!” 26The evil spirit threw the man into convulsions and came out of him with a loud shriek.

It recognized that Jesus has full authority and…Read the comment
