greater than the Sabbath and the Synagogues of man if you knew what it means
I want compassion and not ritual killing you would not chastise those who are
innocent. He departed from there and came to their Synagogue at Capernaum
Unclean Spirit Cast Out
They interred the Synagogue Jesus and his followers. He stood up and began to
teach. There was in their synagogue a man who was unreal. He cried out in a
loud voice, and said, Jesus of Nazareth we have nothing in common? Leave us
alone, have you come to destroy us? I know who you claim to be, Holy One of
God! Jesus reprimanded him and said be silent and had him put out. The
followers took him from their midst and lead him outside doing him no harm. He
cried out in a load voice and left them, his followers returned to Jesus. When he
had finished teaching every man was amazed and spoke among them saying
what this new teaching is? He cast men out and his followers obey him.
Miracle Hand Healed
There was there a man whose right hand was withered. The scribes and the

therefore lawful to do works of righteousness on the Sabbath. They were silent.

hand. He stretched it out and it was regenerated and became whole like the
other. He teaches and commands with authority and his followers obey him.
They were astonished at his teaching and amazed to see a man healed. What
kind of word is this? The Pharisees immediately went out with the Scribes. They
were filled with bitterness and discussed. They took council concerning Jesus.
Jesus and his followers left the Synagogue and came to Bethsaida.
Peters Mother-in-Law Healed
Then they came to the house of Peter and Andrew together with James and
John, Philip and Nathaniel along with Matthew and other followers. Peters
mother-in-law was laid up sick with a sever fever; Peter spoke to Jesus about
her. He went to her and stood by her and took her hand and rebuked the fever
