Daily Bible Reading — January 2024, God’s Guiding Word: DiscipleshipПримерок

# January 10 ## Introduction Mark 1:21–45: Jesus and his disciples go to Capernaum where he preaches in the synagogue and heals a man with an evil spirit. Jesus heals many people and news about him spreads throughout the province of Galilee. ## Today’s Key Verse: Mark 1:22 The people who heard [Jesus] were amazed at the way he taught, for he wasn’t like the teachers of the Law; instead, he taught with authority. ## Reflect Today’s reading includes several stories of Jesus healing people. Do any of these stories resonate with you? If so, why? Mark packs a lot of action into these verses and his narrative moves at a swift pace. News about Jesus spreads quickly, and Simon and his companions say to Jesus, “Everyone is looking for you” (verse 37). Why were the people amazed? What amazes you about Jesus? ## Pray You are amazing, Lord Jesus! You teach with authority, announcing the Good News of God’s love and salvation. I no longer need to “look” for you because you are always near. Order my steps this day and keep me close to you. In your holy name, I pray. Amen. ## Tomorrow’s Reading Mark 2:1–17: Religious leaders begin to question Jesus.
