Summary: The people were amazed at his teaching, because he taught them as one who had authority, not as the teachers of the law. Just then a man in their synagogue who was possessed by an impure spirit cried out, \'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!\' \'Be quiet!\' said Jesus sternly. \'Come out of him!\' The impure spirit shook the man violently and came out of him with a shriek. 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.\'
