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
                   Pharisees watched him, to see if he would heal on the Sabbath, so that they
                   might find an accusation against him, but he knew their thoughts and said to the
                   man whose right hand was withered, stand up and come to the center of the of
                   the Synagogue. He arose and came and stood in their midst. Then Jesus said to
                   them all, is it lawful to do good or evil on the Sabbath, to save a life or to destroy
                   it? He then said to them, who is the man among you who has only one son and if
                   he should fall into a pit on the Sabbath, would he not take hold of him and left
                   him up? How much more important is a man then the Sabbath Day? It is
                   therefore lawful to do works of righteousness on the Sabbath. They were silent.
                   He looked around at them with passion, but sad because of the hardness of the
                   hearts. Then he said to the man with the withered right hand, stretch out your
                   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
