Mark 1:21-28 and Luke 4:31-37 both recount the same event where Jesus teaches in the synagogue in Capernaum and encounters a man with an unclean spirit. The man cries out, "What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us?" Jesus rebukes the unclean spirit and commands it to come out of the man. The people are amazed at Jesus' authority and his power over unclean spirits.
This event highlights Jesus' authority and power, and shows his willingness to confront and overcome the forces of evil. It also demonstrates the importance of faith and trust in God's power to overcome the challenges we face in life.
