With
Authority
They went to
Capernaum; and when the sabbath came, he entered the synagogue and taught. They
were astounded at his teaching, for he taught them as one having authority, and
not as the scribes. Just then there was in their synagogue a man with an
unclean spirit, and he cried out, "What have you to do with us, Jesus of
Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are, the Holy One of
God." But Jesus rebuked him, saying, "Be silent, and come out of
him!" And the unclean spirit, convulsing him and crying with a loud voice,
came out of him. They were all amazed, and they kept on asking one another,
"What is this? A new teaching — with authority! He commands even the
unclean spirits, and they obey him." At once his fame began to spread
throughout the surrounding region of Galilee.

Justice and power must be brought together,
so that whatever is just may be powerful,
and whatever is powerful may be just.
