But if I cast out demons by the finger<n id="1" /> of God, then the kingdom of God<n id="2" /> has already overtaken<n id="3" /> you.

Then<n id="1" /> Jesus said to them, &#8220;Neither will I tell you<n id="2" /> by whose authority<n id="3" /> I do these things.&#8221;p>

For who is greater, the one who is seated at the table,<n id="1" /> or the one who serves? Is it not<n id="2" /> the one who is seated at the table? But I am among you as one<n id="3" /> who serves.p>

but I have prayed for you, Simon,<n id="1" /> that your faith may not fail.<n id="2" /> When<n id="3" /> you have turned back,<n id="4" /> strengthen<n id="5" /> your brothers.&#8221;

So<n id="1" /> they all said, &#8220;Are you the Son of God,<n id="2" /> then?&#8221; He answered<n id="3" /> them, &#8220;You say<n id="4" /> that I am.&#8221;

<p class="bodytext">Zechariah<n id="1" /> said to the angel, &#8220;How can I be sure of this?<n id="2" /> For I am an old man, and my wife is old as well.&#8221;<n id="3" />

The<n id="1" /> angel answered him, &#8220;I am Gabriel, who stands<n id="2" /> in the presence of God, and I was sent to speak to you and to bring<n id="3" /> you this good news.

When<n id="1" /> his parents<n id="2" /> saw him, they were overwhelmed. His<n id="3" /> mother said to him, &#8220;Child,<n id="4" /> why have you treated<n id="5" /> us like this? Look, your father and I have been looking for you anxiously.&#8221;<n id="6" />

For I too am a man set under authority, with soldiers under me.<n id="1" /> I say to this one, &#8216;Go,&#8217; and he goes,<n id="2" /> and to another, &#8216;Come,&#8217; and he comes, and to my slave, &#8216;Do this,&#8217; and he does it.&#8221;<n id="3" />
