02.06.2021 Gospel Mark Chapter 1

On leaving the synagogue, Jesus entered the house of Simon and Andrew. He took James and John along with him. Simon's mother-in-law was sick with a fever, and they immediately told him about her. Jesus approached her. He grasped her by the hand, he lifted her up, and the fever left her and she began to wait on them. Now, when it was evening, after the sun went down, people brought to him all who were sick or possessed with demons. And the whole town gathered outside the front door. Jesus cured many who were sick with various diseases, and he drove out many demons, not permitting them to speak because they knew who he was.

Then rising very early the next day before dawn, he left, and he went off to a deserted place and prayed. Simon and those were with him tracked him down and said, "Do you not know that everyone is looking for you?"

Jesus said to them, "We must go from here to the neighboring towns and villages so that I might preach there also. This is why I have come into the world." So they went off and he preached in their synagogues. He cured those who were sick and he cast out demons.
