4. (Authority) Challenges Corruption

1: 21-28 Capernaum/Synagogue V unclean spirits (silenced)

3:1-6 Synagogue V Pharisees (silenced)

1:21 And they enter into Capernaum: and immediately on the sabbaths entering into the synagogue he taught. 22 And they were astounded on(at) the teaching of him: he was for teaching them as authority having, and not as the scribes. 23 And immediately there was in the synagogue of them a man in spirit an unclean, and he cried out 24 saying: What to us and to thee, Jesus Nazarene? camest thou to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the holy (one) of God. 25 And rebuked him Jesus saying: Be quiet and come out of him. 26 And throwing him the spirit unclean and shouting voice with a great he came out out of him. 27 And were astounded all so that they debated saying: What is this? teaching a new by authority; and the spirits unclean he commands, and they obey him. 28 And went forth the report of him immediately everywhere into all the neighbourhood of Galilee.

3:1 And he entered again into a synagogue. And there was there a man having been withered having the hand; 2 and they watched carefully him if on the sabbaths he will heal him, that they might accuse him. 3 And he says to the man the hand having dry: Rise into the midst. 4 And he says to them. Lawful on the sabbaths good to do or to do evil, life to save or to kill? But they were silent. 5 And looking round (on) them with anger, being greatly grieved on(at) the hardness of the heart of them, he says to the man: Stretch forth the hand. And he stretched forth, and was restored the hand of him. 6 And going forth the Pharisees immediately with the Herodians counsel gave against him, that him they might destroy.

5. (Authority) Gives Priority to People

1: 29-34 House of Simon - priority to people

2:26-27 (House of God) -priority to people (note in Mark Jesus c/f David)

1:29 And immediately out of the synagogue going forth they came into the house of Simon and Andrew with James and John. 30 Now the mother-in-law of Simon was laid (aside) fever-stricken and immediately they tell him about her. 31 And approaching he raised her holding the (her) hand: and left her the fever and she served them. 32 And evening coming when set the sun, they brought to him all the (ones ill having the being demon-possessed; 33 and was all the city having been assembled at the door. 34 And he healed many ill having with various diseases and demons many he expelled, and did not allow to speak the demons because they knew him.

2:26 how he entered into the house of God on (in the days of) Abiathar high priest and the loaves of the setting forth ate, which it is not lawful to eat except the priests, and gave also to the (ones) with him being? 27 And he said to them: the sabbath on account of man was, and not man on account of the sabbath; 28 so as Lord is the Son of man also of the sabbath.

6. (Authority) Respects Human needs

1: 35-37 A desert place - need to pray

2:23-25 Cornfields - need to eat

1:35 And early in the night very rising up he went out and went away to a desert place and there prayed. 36 And hunted down him Simon and the (ones) with him, and found him and say to him. 37 All are seeking thee.

2:23 And it came to pass him on the sabbaths to pass through the cornfields, and the disciples of him began way to make plucking the ears of corn. 24 And the Pharisees said to him: Behold why do on the sabbaths what is not lawful? 25 And he says to them; never read ye what did David, when need he had and hungered he and the (ones) with him?

7. (Authority) Can innovate new order

1: 38 came out (of home) - new order

2:15 - 22 came (out) - new order, c/f wine skins

1:38 And he says to them: Let us go elsewhere into the neighbouring towns, that also there I may proclaim; for for this (purpose) I came forth.

2:15 And it comes to pass to recline him in the house of him, and many tax-collectors and sinners reclined with Jesus and the disciples of him; for there were many and they followed him. 16 And the scribes of the Pharisees seeing that he eats (ate) with sinners and tax-collectors said to the disciples of him: With tax-collectors and sinners does he eat? 17 And hearing Jesus says to them, Not need have the (ones) being strong of a physician but the (ones) ill having: I came (forth) not to call righteous men but sinners. 18 And were the disciples of John and the Pharisees fasting. And they come and say to him: Why the disciples of John and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but thy disciples do not fast? 19 And said to them Jesus: not can the sons of the bride chamber, while the bridegroom with them is, to fast? what time they have the bridegroom with them, not they can to fast. 20 But will come days when taken away from them the bridegroom and then they will fast in that day. 21 No one a patch cloth of unfulled sews on garment an old; otherwise, takes the fulness from itself the new the old and a worse rent occurs. 22 And no one puts wine new into wineskins old; otherwise, will burst the wine the wineskins, and the wine perishes and the wineskins. But wine new into wineskins fresh.

8 (Authority) Reaches to crowds

1: 39-45 Throughout Galilee(&seaside) - with crowds

2:13 - 14 Beside sea - with crowds

1:39 And he came proclaiming in the synagogues of them in all Galilee and the demons expelling. 40 And comes to him a leper beseeching him and falling on (his) knees saying to him. If thou art willing thou art able me to cleanse. 41 And being filled with tenderness stretching forth the his) hand him he touched and says to him: I am willing, be thou cleansed. 42 And immediately departed from him the leprosy, and he was cleansed. 43 And sternly admonishing him immediately he put out him, 44 And says to him: See no one no(any) thing thou tellest, but go thyself show to the priest and offer concerning the cleansing of thee (the things) which commanded Moses, for a testimony to them. 45 But he going out began to proclaim many things and to spread about the matter, so as he was no longer able openly into a city to enter, but outside on (in) desert places he was; and they came to him from all directions.

2:13 And he went forth again by the sea; and all the crowd came to him and he taught them. 14 And passing along he say Levi the (son) Alphaeus sitting on (in or at) the custom house, and says to him: Follow me. And rising up he followed him.

9. (Authority is) Ready to forgive

2: 1-12 .Capernaum/Home

"..authority.to forgive sin."..

2:1 And entering again into Capernaum through days it was heard that at home he is(was) 2 And were assembled many, so as no longer to have room not at the door, and he spoke to them the word. 3 And they come carrying to him a paralytic being borne by four (men). 4 And not being able to bring to him because of the crowd they unroofed the roof where he was, and having opened up they lower the mattress where the paralytic was lying. 5 And seeing Jesus the faith of them he says to the paralytic: Child, are forgiven of thee the sins. 6 Now there were some of the scribes there sitting and reasoning in the hearts of them: 7 Why this (man) thus speaks? he blasphemes: who can to forgive sins except one God? 8 And immediately knowing Jesus in the spirit of him that thus they reason among themselves, he says to them Why these things reason ye in the hearts of you? 9 What is easier, to say to the paralytic: are forgiven of thee the sins, or to say: Rise and take the mattress of thee and walk? 10 But that ye may know that authority has the Son of man to forgive sins on the earth, he says to the paralytic: 11 To thee I say, rise(,) take the mattress of thee and go to the house of thee. 12 And he arose and immediately taking the mattress he went forth before all, so that they were all astonished and glorified God saying Thus never we saw.

Note: stress on 'forgive' point c/f Matthew middle of Section C and at end of Section D. Also at end of Gospel c/f disciple failures. And also it is said by Jesus on the cross in Luke and is at end of gospel of Luke
