☆ Gospel:Mark 1:21-28
21
And they came to Capernaum; and on the Sabbath he went into the Synagogue and gave teaching.
22
And they were full of wonder at his teaching, because he gave it as one having authority, and not like the scribes.
23
And there was in their Synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he gave a cry,
24
Saying, What have we to do with you, Jesus of Nazareth? have you come to put an end to us? I see well who you are, the Holy One of God.
25
And Jesus said to him sharply, Be quiet, and come out of him.
26
And the unclean spirit, shaking him violently, and crying with a loud voice, came out of him.
27
And they were all greatly surprised, so that they put questions to one another, saying, What is this? a new teaching! with authority he gives orders even to the unclean spirits, and they do what he says.
28
And news of him went out quickly everywhere into all parts of Galilee round about.

☆ 1 Samuel 1:9-20
9
So after they had taken food and wine in the guest room, Hannah got up. Now Eli the priest was seated by the pillars of the doorway of the Temple of the Lord.
10
And with grief in her soul, weeping bitterly, she made her prayer to the Lord.
11
And she made an oath, and said, O Lord of armies, if you will truly take note of the sorrow of your servant, not turning away from me but keeping me in mind, and will give me a man-child, then I will give him to the Lord all the days of his life, and his hair will never be cut.
12
Now while she was a long time in prayer before the Lord, Eli was watching her mouth.
13
For Hannah's prayer came from her heart, and though her lips were moving she made no sound: so it seemed to Eli that she was overcome with wine.
14
And Eli said to her, How long are you going to be the worse for drink? Put away the effects of your wine from you.
15
And Hannah, answering him, said, No, my lord, I am a woman whose spirit is broken with sorrow: I have not taken wine or strong drink, but I have been opening my heart before the Lord.
16
Do not take your servant to be a good-for-nothing woman: for my words have come from my stored-up sorrow and pain.
17
Then Eli said to her, Go in peace: and may the God of Israel give you an answer to the prayer you have made to him.
18
And she said, May your servant have grace in your eyes. So the woman went away, and took part in the feast, and her face was no longer sad.
19
And early in the morning they got up, and after worshipping before the Lord they went back to Ramah, to their house: and Elkanah had connection with his wife; and the Lord kept her in mind.
20
Now the time came when Hannah, being with child, gave birth to a son; and she gave him the name Samuel, Because, she said, I made a prayer to the Lord for him.
