22 La gente quedó asombrada de su enseñanza, porque lo hacía con verdadera autoridad, algo completamente diferente de lo que hacían los maestros de la ley religiosa.

Marcos 1:22 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 1:22

And they were astonished at his doctrine
The nature and importance of it, it being what they had not been used to hear; only at best the doctrine of the law, and sometimes only the traditions of the elders, or an allegorical and traditional sense of the Scriptures, and things very trifling and unedifying: and also they were amazed at the manner of his preaching, which was with so much gracefulness, gravity, and majesty, and was attended with so much evidence and power:

for he taught them as one having authority, and not as the Scribes;
or "their Scribes", as the Syriac, Persic, and Ethiopic versions read. He did not go about to establish what he said by the authority of the Rabbins, as the Scribes did; saying, Hillell says so, or Shammai says thus, or such a doctor says thus and thus; but he spoke as from himself, as one sent of God, that had an authority from him, and was independent of man; and this was what they had not observed in others, and wonder at it; (See Gill on Matthew 7:28). (See Gill on Matthew 7:29).

Marcos 1:22 In-Context

20 Los llamó de inmediato y ellos también lo siguieron, dejando a su padre Zebedeo en la barca con los hombres contratados.

21 Jesús expulsa a un espíritu maligno
Jesús y sus compañeros fueron al pueblo de Capernaúm. Cuando llegó el día de descanso, Jesús entró en la sinagoga y comenzó a enseñar.

22 La gente quedó asombrada de su enseñanza, porque lo hacía con verdadera autoridad, algo completamente diferente de lo que hacían los maestros de la ley religiosa.

23 De pronto, un hombre en la sinagoga, que estaba poseído por un espíritu maligno,
comenzó a gritar:

24 «¿Por qué te entrometes con nosotros, Jesús de Nazaret? ¿Has venido a destruirnos? ¡Yo sé quién eres: el Santo de Dios!».
