Notes

Mark 1:21

Mark begins his first account of an exorcism (driving or casting out an evil spirit) with Jesus and his companions going into the synagogue in Capernaum. Jesus teaching there suggests that he was already known as a teacher, so he was invited to speak (compare Acts 13:15).

Mark 1:21–28

Jesus driving out evil spirits shows who he is and his power over Satan (see study notes on Mark 1:12–13 and 3:27; see also 1:34, 39; 3:11–12, 22; 5:1–20; 6:13; 7:24–30; 9:14–29).
