Play “Simon Says” Play “Simon Says” according to the traditional rules. One child is “Simon” and everyone has to do whatever Simon says. (For example, “Simon says, ‘Touch your head.’ ”) But if Simon does not say to do something (“Touch your head.”) and someone does it, he is out. Continue playing until every child has a chance to be Simon.
Say • Do you remember what happened in the Bible story today when Jesus told the evil spirit, “Be quiet and come out of him”? That’s right! The spirit obeyed Jesus and went away! We do not have to be afraid because Jesus is powerful! How could Jesus make evil spirits go away? Jesus is more powerful than all evil. (From mairangichurch.org)

From Google AI Mode
The authority of Jesus
• Why were people "astounded" at Jesus's teaching? The crowd was amazed because Jesus spoke with an inherent authority, unlike the scribes, who based their teaching on tradition and the authority of previous scholars. Jesus's authority was personal and direct.
• What does his authority reveal about his identity? The direct, commanding nature of Jesus's words—both in his teaching and to the demon—proves his divine identity. The power over evil spirits reinforces his position as the "Holy One of God".
• How did Jesus's use of authority differ from others? Jesus used his authority to serve and to free people from oppression, not for self-aggrandizement. This is a key distinction from worldly power structures, and a consistent theme in Mark's Gospel.
The unclean spirit
• Why did the unclean spirit recognize Jesus? The demon, as a supernatural being, immediately knew Jesus's true identity, calling him "Jesus of Nazareth" and "the Holy One of God". This demonstrates that spiritual forces are aware of Jesus's authority, even if humans are not.
• Why did Jesus silence the demon? Jesus "rebuked" and commanded the spirit to be quiet, a practice some scholars call the "Markan Secret". He likely did not want a demonic testimony to validate his identity and was not yet ready for his true mission to be fully known.
• What does Jesus's command mean for those struggling with sin? The incident shows that no power of evil can withstand Jesus's authority. His command provides hope that he can free people from destructive habits and spiritual oppression, as well as literal evil spirits.
The crowd's reaction and response
• What was the crowd's initial reaction? The people were amazed and terrified by Jesus's command over the evil spirit, an authority they had never witnessed. They started questioning each other, "What is this? A new teaching—with authority!".
• What does their reaction reveal? The crowd's focus was on Jesus's spectacular actions, rather than a deeper understanding of who he was. This reflects a recurring theme in Mark, where people are wowed by Jesus's power but fail to grasp his full mission until later.
• What resulted from this interaction? News of Jesus's authority and fame "spread quickly over the whole region of Galilee". The event served as powerful evidence for his mission, establishing his reputation beyond just a teacher.
