But I want you to know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins.” So he said to the man, Mark 2:10 NIV

snippets

Now about 50 million years old, Zeta began life at the hotter end of the range of class B dwarfs.
Along with Delta Cep, Zeta appears to be part of the Cepheus OB6 association (centered at 880 light years), an expanding group of massive stars that share a common birthplace.
