Jesus and his disciples came to the town of Capernaum, and on the next Sabbath Jesus went to the synagogue and began to teach.

The people who heard him were amazed at the way he taught, for he wasn't like the teachers of the Law; instead, he taught with authority.

So he traveled all over Galilee, preaching in the synagogues and driving out demons.

He taught in the synagogues and was praised by everyone.

Then Jesus went to Capernaum, a town in Galilee, where he taught the people on the Sabbath.

They were all amazed at the way he taught, because he spoke with authority.

So they said, "This man is Jesus son of Joseph, isn't he? We know his father and mother. How, then, does he now say he came down from heaven?"

The Jewish authorities were greatly surprised and said, "How does this man know so much when he has never been to school?"

The members of the Council were amazed to see how bold Peter and John were and to learn that they were ordinary men of no education. They realized then that they had been companions of Jesus.

But there was nothing that they could say, because they saw the man who had been healed standing there with Peter and John.
