A reading from the Gospel according to our teacher Saint Mark the Evangelist.
May His Blessings be with us all.
Mark 3 : 7 - 21
Chapter 3
| 7 | But Jesus withdrew with His disciples to the sea. And a great multitude from Galilee followed Him, and from Judea
|
| 8 | and Jerusalem and Idumea and beyond the Jordan; and those from Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, when they heard how many things He was doing, came to Him.
|
| 9 | So He told His disciples that a small boat should be kept ready for Him because of the multitude, lest they should crush Him.
|
| 10 | For He healed many, so that as many as had afflictions pressed about Him to touch Him.
|
| 11 | And the unclean spirits, whenever they saw Him, fell down before Him and cried out, saying, "You are the Son of God."
|
| 12 | But He sternly warned them that they should not make Him known.
|
| 13 | And He went up on the mountain and called to Him those He Himself wanted. And they came to Him.
|
| 14 | Then He appointed twelve, that they might be with Him and that He might send them out to preach,
|
| 15 | and to have power to heal sicknesses and to cast out demons:
|
| 16 | Simon, to whom He gave the name Peter;
|
| 17 | James the son of Zebedee and John the brother of James, to whom He gave the name Boanerges, that is, "Sons of Thunder";
|
| 18 | Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon the Cananite;
|
| 19 | and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed Him. And they went into a house.
|
| 20 | Then the multitude came together again, so that they could not so much as eat bread.
|
| 21 | But when His own people heard about this, they went out to lay hold of Him, for they said, "He is out of His mind."
|
And Glory be to God forever.
