Description: Luke structures the Capernaum episode (the demon's expulsion, the healing of Peter's mother-in-law, and the wider healings) as a chiasm that highlights Jesus' authoritative teaching, showing that Jesus is worthy of trust because his word alone can defeat hell and heal humanity, and that word is always rooted in and consistent with the Old Testament Scriptures.
