MARK—NOTE ON Mark 1:22 The main purpose of Jesus’ earthly ministry was teaching rather than performing miracles or casting out demons, although these actions showed that God was with him. The scribes mentioned here may have been a local group of men who taught in the synagogues, rather than the scribes who “came down from Jerusalem” (Mark 3:22). Jesus taught with his own divine authority, not simply repeating the traditions of others.
