To read the texts click on the texts:1 Cor 2:1-16; Lk 4:31-37
Immediately after leaving the synagogue, Jesus works a miracle.
This miracle is the healing of a man possessed by a demon, thus putting into
action immediately the manifesto he had spoken about.
This exorcism is the
first of the four exorcisms in the Gospel of Luke. The unclean spirit refers to
Jesus here as Jesus of Nazareth and as the Holy one of God, which is a title
Luke has taken from Mark, since it does not appear again in the Gospel of Luke.
Jesus exorcises the demon with a command.
It is interesting to note that
the people who witnessed the miracle refer to it not as an action but as a
teaching simply because there was never a separation between the words and
deeds of Jesus, there was never a separation between what Jesus said and did.
