29As soon as Jesus
and the disciples left the synagogue,
they entered the house of Simon and Andrew,
with James and John.
30Now Simon’s mother-in-law was in bed with
a fever,
and they told Jesus about her at once.
31Jesus came and took her by the hand and
lifted her up.
Then the fever left her,
and she began to serve them.
32That evening, at
sundown,
they brought to Jesus all who were sick or possessed with
demons.
33And the whole city was gathered around
the door.
34And Jesus cured many who were sick with
various diseases,
and cast out many demons;
and Jesus would not permit the demons
to speak,
because they knew him.
35In the morning,
while it was still very dark,
Jesus got up and went out to a deserted place,
and there he prayed.
36And Simon and his companions hunted for Jesus.
37When they found him,
they said to him,
“Everyone is searching for
you.”
38Jesus answered,
“Let us go on to the neighboring
towns,
so that I may proclaim the message
there also;
for that is what I
came out to do.”
39And he went throughout
Galilee,
proclaiming the message in
their synagogues
and
casting out demons.Queeries for the text:
Why does Mark care so much about what time it is?
Do Jesus and the disciples just care about Simon's mother-in-law so that she'll serve them?
Why is Jesus afraid of the ones who know him saying something?
Is Jesus an introvert?
Are Simon and his companions hunting because they're afraid Jesus will leave without them?
Who is "everyone"?
Is casting out demons just assumed to be part of "proclaiming the message"?
What did the dark night sky look like to Jesus when he prayed?
Does Jesus like the dark as much as I do?
Why is Jesus always moving on?
What are your queeries?
