Jesus Casts Out an Unclean Spirit

21 aThen they went into Capernaum, and immediately on the Sabbath He entered the bsynagogue and taught.  
22 aAnd they were astonished at His teaching, for He taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.  
23 Now there was a man in their synagogue with an aunclean spirit. And he cried out,  
24 saying, “Let us alone! aWhat have we to do with You, Jesus of Nazareth? Did You come to destroy us? I bknow who You are—the cHoly One of God!”

Mark 1:21

As the Creator of the Sabbath (John 1:1-3, 14; Colossians 1:16-18), Jesus is "Lord of the Sabbath." As a man, He showed us the intent of this commandment in numerous accounts recorded in the four gospels. Jesus gave His church an example of how the whole Christian way of life is to be lived (I John 2:6). We are to do as Christ did (I Peter 2:21-22).
