4. (Authority) Challenges Corruption

3:1-6 Synagogue V Pharisees (silenced)

1:21 And they enter into Capernaum: and immediately on the sabbaths entering into the synagogue he taught. 22 And they were astounded on(at) the teaching of him: he was for teaching them as authority having, and not as the scribes. 23 And immediately there was in the synagogue of them a man in spirit an unclean, and he cried out 24 saying: What to us and to thee, Jesus Nazarene? camest thou to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the holy (one) of God. 25 And rebuked him Jesus saying: Be quiet and come out of him. 26 And throwing him the spirit unclean and shouting voice with a great he came out out of him. 27 And were astounded all so that they debated saying: What is this? teaching a new by authority; and the spirits unclean he commands, and they obey him. 28 And went forth the report of him immediately everywhere into all the neighbourhood of Galilee.

3:1 And he entered again into a synagogue. And there was there a man having been withered having the hand; 2 and they watched carefully him if on the sabbaths he will heal him, that they might accuse him. 3 And he says to the man the hand having dry: Rise into the midst. 4 And he says to them. Lawful on the sabbaths good to do or to do evil, life to save or to kill? But they were silent. 5 And looking round (on) them with anger, being greatly grieved on(at) the hardness of the heart of them, he says to the man: Stretch forth the hand. And he stretched forth, and was restored the hand of him. 6 And going forth the Pharisees immediately with the Herodians counsel gave against him, that him they might destroy.

1:29 And immediately out of the synagogue going forth they came into the house of Simon and Andrew with James and John. 30 Now the mother-in-law of Simon was laid (aside) fever-stricken and immediately they tell him about her. 31 And approaching he raised her holding the (her) hand: and left her the fever and she served them. 32 And evening coming when set the sun, they brought to him all the (ones ill having the being demon-possessed; 33 and was all the city having been assembled at the door. 34 And he healed many ill having with various diseases and demons many he expelled, and did not allow to speak the demons because they knew him.

2:26 how he entered into the house of God on (in the days of) Abiathar high priest and the loaves of the setting forth ate, which it is not lawful to eat except the priests, and gave also to the (ones) with him being? 27 And he said to them: the sabbath on account of man was, and not man on account of the sabbath; 28 so as Lord is the Son of man also of the sabbath.
