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.
