- 29 And soon after departing from the synagogue, they went into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
- 30 But the mother-in-law of Simon lay ill with a fever. And at once they told him about her.
- 31 And drawing near to her, he raised her up, taking her by the hand. And immediately the fever left her, and she ministered to them.
- 32 Then, when evening arrived, after the sun had set, they brought to him all who had maladies and those who had demons.
- 33 And the entire city was gathered together at the door.
- 34 And he healed many who were troubled with various illnesses. And he cast out many demons, but he would not permit them to speak, because they knew him.
- 35 And rising up very early, departing, he went out to a deserted place, and there he prayed.
- 36 And Simon, and those who were with him, followed after him.
- 37 And when they had found him, they said to him, “For everyone is seeking you.”
- 38 And he said to them: “Let us go into the neighboring towns and cities, so that I may preach there also. Indeed, it was for this reason that I came.”
- 39 And he was preaching in their synagogues and throughout all of Galilee, and casting out demons.

Read in the CPDV: [The whole of Mark 1](https://blessbible.app/bible/mark/1/)

Computed by Bless from the US Lectionary cycle — confirm with your parish.

In US parishes the readings are proclaimed from the NABRE; the text shown here is the Catholic Public Domain Version.

Old Testament readings and the psalm are listed with a link to their chapter: the US Lectionary numbers some of their verses differently from the CPDV, so their text is not printed here. Psalm citations keep the Lectionary’s Hebrew numbering; the CPDV numbers the Psalms as the Vulgate does.
