Rev. Emily E. Ewing queeries the Gospel reading.
Gospel: Mark 1:29-39
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 he 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 him.
37When they found Jesus, 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 Jesus went throughout Galilee, proclaiming the message in their synagogues and casting out demons.

How did Jesus come out? What does Jesus proclaim?
Who is cast out?
What secrets is Jesus keeping?
