The man praised God for his deliverance. The eye that had so lately glared with the fire of insanity, now beamed with intelligence, and overflowed with grateful tears. The people were dumb with amazement. As soon as they recovered speech they exclaimed, one to another, "What is this? a new teaching! with authority He commandeth even the unclean spirits, and they obey Him." Mark 1:27, R. V.

Manden priste Gud for sin befrielse. De øjne, som for ganske kort tid siden havde lyst af vanvid, strålede nu af forstand og fyldtes af taknemmelighedens tårer. Skaren var målløs af forundring. Så snart de atter genvandt talens brug, sagde de til hinanden: "Hvad er dog dette? en ny lære med myndighed; selv de urene ånder byder han over, og de adlyder ham." Mark. 1,27.
