When the Sabbath day came, he went into the synagogue and began to teach. 22The people were amazed at his teaching, for he taught with real authority—quite unlike the teachers of religious law. 23Suddenly, a man in the synagogue who was possessed by an evil spirit cried out,

• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 21Mark begins his first account of an exorcism (driving or casting out an evil spirit) with Jesus and his companions going into the synagogue in Capernaum.

The meaning is, that as He began this practice on the very first sabbath after coming to settle at Capernaum, so He continued it regularly thereafter.Read the comment
