Jesus went into the synagogue and taught and the people were astonished at His doctrine which were words with power.  We have the evidence of the Holy Spirit being with Him from His baptism.  There we have the voice of the Father saying “This is my beloved Son of whom I am well pleased.”  The thing that interests me is the voice of the demon saying don’t destroy us.  How could this humble carpenter of Nazareth be recognized by this demon?  It is because Jesus is who he said He was and would destroy them some day.  We have the word “authority” in verse 36.  I want to recognize his authority over me.  Next Jesus heals Peter’s mother-in-law proving if Peter was to follow Jesus, He could take care of his family as well.  In the next chapter, Peter does follow along with his brother Andrew and two companion fishermen, James and John.
