Mark 1:21-34

Mark 1:21-34Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)Driving Out an Unclean Spirit²¹ Then they went into Capernaum, and right away He entered the synagogue on the Sabbath and began to teach. ²² They were astonished at His teaching because, unlike the scribes, He was teaching them as one having authority.
²³ Just then a man with an unclean spirit was in their synagogue. He cried out,^[a] 24 “What do You have to do with us,^[b] Jesus—Nazarene? Have You come to destroy us? I know who You are—the Holy One of God!”
²⁵ But Jesus rebuked him and said, “Be quiet,^[c] and come out of him!” ²⁶ And the unclean spirit convulsed him, shouted with a loud voice, and came out of him.
²⁷ Then they were all amazed, so they began to argue with one another, saying, “What is this? A new teaching with authority!^[d] He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey Him.” ²⁸ News about Him then spread throughout the entire vicinity of Galilee.
Healings at Capernaum²⁹ As soon as they left the synagogue, they went into Simon and Andrew’s house with James and John. ³⁰ Simon’s mother-in-law was lying in bed with a fever, and they told Him about her at once. ³¹ So He went to her, took her by the hand, and raised her up. The fever left her,^[e] and she began to serve them.
³² When evening came, after the sun had set, they began bringing to Him all those who were sick and those who were demon-possessed. ³³ The whole town was assembled at the door, ³⁴ and He healed many who were sick with various diseases and drove out many demons. But He would not permit the demons to speak, because they knew Him.
 Questions:1.       What is the Sabbath? And why do many Christians today worship on Sunday?
