Episode Notes — Ep6: Authority That Shakes the Room (Mark 1:21–28)
When Jesus enters the synagogue at Capernaum, His words don’t sound like anyone else’s. The scribes quoted rabbis and recycled tradition. Jesus speaks as the source. The crowd feels it — and a demon can’t stay hidden any longer.
In this episode we explore:
- Why His teaching shocked the synagogue — authority with no borrowed weight.
- How a demon recognized Him before the congregation did.
- What real authority looks like when one command sets a man free.
- Why His words were never just information, but power that reordered reality.
Mark shows us that Jesus is not one more religious voice. He is the voice — the authority every other power only pretends to have.
