Gospel: Mark 1:21-28
21 They went into Capernaum, and immediately on the Sabbath day he entered into the synagogue and taught.
22 They were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as having authority, and not as the scribes.
23 Immediately there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit, and he cried out,
24 saying, "Ha! What do we have to do with you, Jesus, you Nazarene? Have you come to destroy us? I know you who you are: the Holy One of God!"
25 Jesus rebuked him, saying, "Be quiet, and come out of him!"
26 The unclean spirit, convulsing him and crying with a loud voice, came out of him.
27 They were all amazed, so that they questioned amongst themselves, saying, "What is this? A new teaching? For with authority he commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him!"
28 The report of him went out immediately everywhere into all the region of Galilee and its surrounding area.

1 Samuel 1:9-20
9 So Hannah rose up after they had finished eating and drinking in Shiloh. Now Eli the priest was sitting on his seat by the doorpost of the LORD's temple.
10 She was in bitterness of soul, and prayed to the LORD, weeping bitterly.
11 She vowed a vow, and said, "The LORD of Armies, if you will indeed look at the affliction of your servant, and remember me, and not forget your servant, but will give to your servant a boy, then I will give him to the LORD all the days of his life, and no razor shall come on his head."
12 As she continued praying before the LORD, Eli saw her mouth.
13 Now Hannah spoke in her heart. Only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard. Therefore Eli thought she was drunk.
14 Eli said to her, "How long will you be drunk? Get rid of your wine!"
15 Hannah answered, "No, my lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit. I have not been drinking wine or strong drink, but I poured out my soul before the LORD.
16 Don't consider your servant a wicked woman; for I have been speaking out of the abundance of my complaint and my provocation."
17 Then Eli answered, "Go in peace; and may the God†The Hebrew word rendered "God" is "?????????" (Elohim). of Israel grant your petition that you have asked of him."
18 She said, "Let your servant find favour in your sight." So the woman went her way, and ate; and her facial expression wasn't sad any more.
19 They rose up in the morning early, and worshipped before the LORD, and returned, and came to their house to Ramah. Then Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and the LORD remembered her.
20 When the time had come, Hannah conceived, and bore a son; and she named him Samuel,‡Samuel sounds like the Hebrew for "heard by God." saying, "Because I have asked him of the LORD."
†1:17: The Hebrew word rendered "God" is "?????????" (Elohim).
‡1:20: Samuel sounds like the Hebrew for "heard by God."
