The authority of Jesus

Alliteration's aidful art:

In Mark chapter 1 we see:

The authority of Jesus’ sermon: authority over the scribes.
Authority over Satan.
Authority over sickness.

I would have liked an "s" for the call of the first disciples too. Jesus' authority over sinners is not especially the point being made there. Jesus' authority over sailors is rather silly! A parishoner suggested Jesus' authority to call students (since disciples means learners).

In chapter 2 we see Jesus’ authority over sin.
Then we see his authority over the Sabbath.
In chapter 4 we see Jesus’ authority over the storm and the sea.
