Two Aspects of the Lord Exercising His Authority: Through the Lord's Teaching Words VS Through the Faith Infused by the Lord

Mark 1:22 "And they were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as one who had authority, and not as the scribes."

Mark 2:13 "He went out again beside the sea, and all the crowd was coming to him, and he was teaching them."

Mark 10:1 "And he left there and went to the region of Judea and beyond the Jordan, and crowds gathered to him again. And again, as was his custom, he taught them."

Mark 11:17 "And he was teaching them and saying to them, 'Is it not written, 'My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations'? But you have made it a den of robbers.'"

Mark 14:49 "Day after day I was with you in the temple teaching, and you did not seize me. But let the Scriptures be fulfilled."

Application	Bringing people from darkness into light	Believers can believe and experience the Lord's great power
Related Scriptures	Mark 4:1 "Again he began to teach beside the sea. And a very large crowd gathered about him, so that he got into a boat and sat in it on the sea, and the whole crowd was beside the sea on the land." Mark 6:2,6,30,34 "And on the Sabbath he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him were astonished, saying, 'Where did this man get these things? What is the wisdom given to him? How are such mighty works done by his hands?'...And he went about among the villages teaching...The apostles returned to Jesus and told him all that they had done and taught...When he went ashore he saw a great crowd, and he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. And he began to teach them many things." Mark 12:35 "And as Jesus taught in the temple, he said, 'How can the scribes say that the Christ is the son of David?'"	Matthew 8:8-10 "But the centurion replied, 'Lord, I am not worthy to have you come under my roof, but only say the word, and my servant will be healed. For I too am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. And I say to one, 'Go,' and he goes, and to another, 'Come,' and he comes, and to my servant, 'Do this,' and he does it.' When Jesus heard this, he marveled and said to those who followed him, 'Truly, I tell you, with no one in Israel have I found such faith.'" Matthew 8:13 "And to the centurion Jesus said, 'Go; let it be done for you as you have believed.' And the servant was healed at that very moment." Hebrews 12:2 "looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God."
