Then they came to Capernaum, and on the
sabbath Jesus entered the synagogue and taught. The
people were astonished at his teaching, for he taught
them as one having authority and not as the scribes.
In their synagogue was a man with an unclean spirit;
he cried out, “What have you to do with us, Jesus of
Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who
you are—the Holy One of God!” Jesus rebuked him
and said, “Quiet! Come out of him!” The unclean
spirit convulsed him and with a loud cry came out of
him. All were amazed and asked one another, “What
is this? A new teaching with authority. He commands
even the unclean spirits and they obey him.” His fame
spread everywhere throughout the whole region of
Galilee.
(MARK 1:21-28)

Moses spoke to all the people, saying: “A prophet like me will the LORD, your God, raise up for you from among
your own kin; to him you shall listen. This is exactly what you requested of the LORD, your God, at Horeb on the day
of the assembly, when you said, ‘Let us not again hear the voice of the LORD, our God, nor see this great fire any
more, lest we die.’ And the LORD said to me, ‘This was well said. I will raise up for them a prophet like you from
among their kin, and will put my words into his mouth; he shall tell them all that I command him. Whoever will not
listen to my words which he speaks in my name, I myself will make him answer for it. But if a prophet presumes to
speak in my name an oracle that I have not commanded him to speak, or speaks in the name of other gods, he shall
die.’”
( DEUT ER ON OMY
18:1 5 -20 )
Brothers and sisters: I should like you to be free of anxieties. An unmarried man is anxious about the things of the
Lord, how he may please the Lord. But a married man is anxious about the things of the world, how he may please
his wife, and he is divided. An unmarried woman or a virgin is anxious about the things of the Lord, so that she may
be holy in both body and spirit. A married woman, on the other hand, is anxious about the things of the world, how
she may please her husband. I am telling you this for your own benefit, not to impose a restraint upon you, but for
the sake of propriety and adherence to the Lord without distraction.
