2.         Compassionate Power

4:33-37

Synagogue (in city) demons

"came astonishment on all"

7:11-35

City Nain - widow & son

"took fear all"

 

4:33 And in the synagogue (of the city)  there was a man having a spirit demon of an unclean, and he shouted voice with a great. 34 Ah what to us and to thee, Jesus Nazarene? Camest thou to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the holy one of God. 35 And rebuked him Jesus saying: Be muzzled and come out from him. And throwing him the demon in the midst came out from him nothing injuring him. 36 And came astonishment on all, and they spoke to one another saying: What is word this: because with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits and they come out? 37 And went forth a rumour concerning him into every place of the neighbourhood.

7:11 And it came to pass on the next day he went into a city being called Nain and went with him the disciples of him and crowd, a much, 12 And as he drew near to the gate of the city, and behold was being carried out having died an only born son to the mother of him, and this was a widow and a crowd of the city considerable was with her. 13 And seeing her the Lord felt compassion over her and said to her: Do not weep. 14 And approaching he touched the bier; and the ones bearing stood, and he said: Young man to thee I say. Arise. 15 And sat up the dead man and began to speak and he gave him to the mother of him. 16 And took fear all, and they glorified God saying prophet a great was raised among us, and visited God the people of him. 17 And went forth word this in all Judea concerning him and all the neighbourhood. 18 And reported to John the disciples of him about all these things. And calling to him two a certain of the disciples of him John sent to the Lord saying: Thou art the coming one or another may we expect? 20 And coming to him the men said: John the Baptist sent to us to thee saying: Thou art the coming one or another may we expect? 21 In the hour he healed many from diseases and plagues and spirits evil and blind persons to many he gave to see. 22 And answering he said to them: Going report to John the things which ye saw and heard: blind men see again, lame can walk, lepers are being cleansed, and deaf men hear; dead men are raised, poor people are evangelised 23 and blessed is whoever is not offended in me. 24 and going away the messengers of John went away he began to say to the crowds concerning John: What went ye forth into the desert to see? a reed by wind being shaken? 25 But what went ye forth to see? a man in soft garments having been clothed? behold the ones in raiment splendid and in luxury being in royal palaces are. 26 But what went ye forth to see? a prophet? yes I tell you, and more than a prophet. 27 This is he concerning whom it has been written: Behold I send the messenger of me before the face of thee, who will prepare the way of thee before thee. 28 I tell you, greater among those born of women than John no one is: but the less in the kingdom of God greater than he is. 29 And all the people hearing and the tax-collectors justified God, being baptised with the baptism of John. 30 but the Pharisees and the lawyers this counsel of God rejected for themselves not being baptised by him. 31 To what then may I liken the men generation of this, and to what are they like? 32 Like are they to children in a marketplace sitting and calling to one another who says: We piped to you and ye did not dance: we mourned and ye did not weep. 33 For has come John the Baptist not eating bread nor drinking wind and ye say: a demon he has. 34 Has come the So of man eating and drinking, and ye say: Behold a man a glutton and a winebibber, a friend of tax-collectors and of sinners. 35 And was justified wisdom from all the children of her.
