And they were greatly impressed by His teaching, because He spoke with the language of authority.
33
But in the synagogue there was a man possessed by the spirit of a foul demon. In a loud voice he cried out,

36
All were astonished and awe-struck; and they asked one another, "What sort of language is this? For with authority and real power He gives orders to the foul spirits and they come out."
