³² and they were astonished at his teaching, because his word was with authority.

³⁶ and amazement came upon all, and they were speaking together, with one another, saying, `What `is' this word, that with authority and power he doth command the unclean spirits, and they come forth?'

²⁸ And it came to pass, when Jesus ended these words, the multitudes were astonished at his teaching,

²⁹ for he was teaching them as having authority, and not as the scribes.

¹² for the reckoning of God is living, and working, and sharp above every two-edged sword, and piercing unto the dividing asunder both of soul and spirit, of joints also and marrow, and a discerner of thoughts and intents of the heart;

¹³ and there is not a created thing not manifest before Him, but all things `are' naked and open to His eyes -- with whom is our reckoning.

¹⁵ these things be speaking, and exhorting, and convicting, with all charge; let no one despise thee!

⁵ because our good news did not come to you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit, and in much assurance, even as ye have known of what sort we became among you because of you,

⁴ for the weapons of our warfare `are' not fleshly, but powerful to God for bringing down of strongholds,

⁵ reasonings bringing down, and every high thing lifted up against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of the Christ,

² but did renounce for ourselves the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness, nor deceitfully using the word of God, but by the manifestation of the truth recommending ourselves unto every conscience of men, before God;

²⁴ and if all may prophecy, and any one may come in, an unbeliever or unlearned, he is convicted by all, he is discerned by all,

²⁵ and so the secrets of his heart become manifest, and so having fallen upon `his' face, he will bow before God, declaring that God really is among you.

⁴ and my word and my preaching was not in persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power --

⁵ that your faith may not be in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

⁶³ the spirit it is that is giving life; the flesh doth not profit anything; the sayings that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life;

²² and they were astonished at his teaching, for he was teaching them as having authority, and not as the scribes.

²⁸ The prophet with whom `is' a dream, Let him recount the dream, And he with whom `is' My word, Let him truly speak My word. What -- to the straw with the corn? An affirmation of Jehovah.

²⁹ Is it not thus? My word `is' as a fire, An affirmation of Jehovah. And as a hammer -- it breaketh in pieces a rock.
