Notes

  • The amazement caused by this exorcism quickly led to the spread of the news about Jesus.

  • What is this? A new teaching with authority!: People saw the healings and exorcisms that Jesus did as being part of his teaching (1:21–22, 27; compare 1:38–39; 3:14–15; 6:2, 5, 12–13, 30).

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).
