Mark 1:29-34 : Jesus Drives Out an Impure Spirit

Study

29 Immediately, when they had come out of the synagogue, they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.

30 Now Simon's wife's mother lay sick with a fever, and immediately they told him about her.

31 He came and took her by the hand, and raised her up. The fever left her, and she served them.

32 At evening, when the sun had set, they brought to him all who were sick, and those who were possessed by demons.

33 All the city was gathered together at the door.

34 He healed many who were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons. He didn't allow the demons to speak, because they knew him.

Jesus, your personal saviour

Sometimes people will say their problems are too small to bother God with. Other times, the problems are too big. In the first chapter of Mark we see Jesus perform three healings, two big and one small, to remind us that Jesus is interested in helping no matter what.

Mark 1:40-45

Study

  

40 A leper came to him, begging him, kneeling down to him, and saying to him, "If you want to, you can make me clean."

41 Being moved with compassion, he stretched out his hand, and touched him, and said to him, "I want to. Be made clean."

42 When he had said this, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was made clean.

43 He strictly warned him, and immediately sent him out,

44 and said to him, "See you say nothing to anybody, but go show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing the things which Moses commanded, for a testimony to them."

45 But he went out, and began to proclaim it much, and to spread about the matter, so that Jesus could no more openly enter into a city, but was outside in desert places: and they came to him from everywhere.
