Genesis 49:16-18 and Mark 1:21-28 (NLT)

Genesis 49:16-18
Jacob Blesses His Sons (Dan)
16  “Dan will govern his people, like any other tribe in Israel.
17  Dan will be a snake beside the road, a poisonous viper along the path that bites the horse’s hooves
so its rider is thrown off.
18  I trust in you for salvation, O Lord!


Mark 1:21-28
Jesus Cast Out an Evil Spirit
21  Jesus and his companions went to the town of Capernaum. When the Sabbath day came, he went into the synagogue and began to teach.
22  The people were amazed at his teaching, for he taught with real authority—quite unlike the teachers of religious law.
23  Suddenly, a man in the synagogue who was possessed by an evil spirit began shouting,
24  “Why are you interfering with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God!”
25  Jesus cut him short. “Be quiet! Come out of the man,” he ordered.
26  At that, the evil spirit screamed, threw the man into a convulsion, and then came out of him.
27  Amazement gripped the audience, and they began to discuss what had happened. “What sort of new teaching is this?” they asked excitedly. “It has such authority! Even evil spirits obey his orders!”
28  The news about Jesus spread quickly throughout the entire region of Galilee.
