THE CROWD AMAZED

Mark 1:21-34

 

Key Concept:

Jesus, as God the Son, has authority over all in the spiritual and physical realms.

Mark the Gospel writer was not one of the twelve apostles, but he based his account on the testimony of the apostle Petr, a close companion of his. Mark succinctly and rapidly reported the story of Jesus' life, death, and resurrection. Mark 1 begins with John the Baptist's ministry, Jesus' baptism and temptation, and Jesus' calling the disciples. Jesus was in Capernaum teaching in the synagogue on the Sabbath when He encountered a man with an unclean spirit.

As you examine Mark 1:21-34:

 

✞   Recognize that Jesus had authority to drive out unclean spirits.

✞   Emphasize that Jesus' authority over all things included His ability to heal the sick.
