1:21 到了迦百農,耶穌就在安息日進了會堂教訓人。
1:22 眾人很希奇他的教訓;因為他教訓他們,正像有權柄的人,不像文士。
1:23 在會堂裡,有一個人被污鬼附著。他喊叫說:
1:24 「拿撒勒人耶穌,我們與你有甚麼相干?你來滅我們嗎?我知道你是誰,乃是上帝的聖者。」
1:25 耶穌責備他說:「不要作聲!從這人身上出來吧。」
1:26 污鬼叫那人抽了一陣瘋,大聲喊叫,就出來了。
1:27 眾人都驚訝,以致彼此對問說:「這是甚麼事?是個新道理啊!他用權柄吩咐污鬼,連污鬼也聽從了他。」
1:28 耶穌的名聲就傳遍了加利利的四方。
21 They went to Capernaum, and when the Sabbath came, Jesus went into the synagogue and began to teach. 22 The people were amazed at his teaching, because he taught them as one who had authority, not as the teachers of the law. 23 Just then a man in their synagogue who was possessed by an impure spirit cried out, 24 “What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God!”
25 “Be quiet!” said Jesus sternly. “Come out of him!” 26 The impure spirit shook the man violently and came out of him with a shriek.
27 The people were all so amazed that they asked each other, “What is this? A new teaching—and with authority! He even gives orders to impure spirits and they obey him.” 28 News about him spread quickly over the whole region of Galilee.

主耶穌一呼召門徒後,就馬上遇到屬靈的征戰,在會堂裡,有一個人被污鬼附著。他喊叫說:「拿撒勒人耶穌,我們與你有甚麼相干?你來滅我們嗎?我知道你是誰,乃是上帝的聖者。」
主耶穌當然不甘示弱,勇敢的宣告:「不要作聲!從這人身上出來吧。」污鬼叫那人抽了一陣瘋,大聲喊叫,就出來了。
主耶穌的做為使我感受到在偏遠的海邊,那裏的人們好像被捨棄的人,他們為了生活必須和大海搏鬥。也因為這樣他們受到各樣勢力的侵擾,包括邪靈和邪惡之人的剝削。因為魚貨是美味與高級的食物,有許多的利益在其中!
然而在這樣的環境中,主耶穌的憐憫卻在他們中間,為他們與邪惡的勢力爭戰,使人脫離惡勢力的壓迫,讓上帝的真光充滿!人心也得著激勵,他們的回應是:「這是甚麼事?是個新道理啊!他用權柄吩咐污鬼,連污鬼也聽從了他。」
上帝的話語是大有能力的,也無須經人的確認才確認,我們只要勇敢接受,就能貫穿我們全人,得著更新的力量,使我們舒暢與自由!
