☆ Gospel:Mark 1:29-39
29
And when they came out of the Synagogue, they went into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
30
Now Simon's wife's mother was ill, with a burning heat; and they gave him word of her:
31
And he came and took her by the hand, lifting her up; and she became well, and took care of their needs.
32
And in the evening, at sundown, they took to him all who were diseased, and those who had evil spirits.
33
And all the town had come together at the door.
34
And a number, who were ill with different diseases, he made well, and sent out evil spirits; but he did not let the evil spirits say anything, because they had knowledge of him.
35
And in the morning, a long time before daylight, he got up and went out to a quiet place, and there he gave himself up to prayer.
36
And Simon and those who were with him came after him.
37
And when they came up with him, they said to him, Everyone is looking for you.
38
And he said to them, Let us go to other parts into the nearest towns, so that I may give teaching there, because for this purpose I came.
39
And he went into their Synagogues in every part of Galilee, preaching and driving out evil spirits.

☆ 1 Samuel 3:1-10, 19-20
1
Now the young Samuel was the servant of the Lord before Eli. In those days the Lord kept his word secret from men; there was no open vision.
2
And at that time, when Eli was resting in his place, (now his eyes were becoming clouded so that he was not able to see,)
3
And the light of God was still burning, while Samuel was sleeping in the Temple of the Lord where the ark of God was,
4
The voice of the Lord said Samuel's name; and he said, Here am I.
5
And running to Eli he said, Here am I, for you said my name. And Eli said, I did not say your name; go to your rest again. So he went back to his bed.
6
And again the Lord said, Samuel. And Samuel got up and went to Eli and said, Here am I; for you certainly said my name. But he said in answer, I said nothing, my son; go to your rest again.
7
Now at that time Samuel had no knowledge of the Lord, and the revelation of the word of the Lord had not come to him.
8
And for the third time the Lord said Samuel's name. And he got up and went to Eli and said, Here am I; for you certainly said my name. Then it was clear to Eli that the voice which had said the child's name was the Lord's.
9
So Eli said to Samuel, Go back: and if the voice comes again, let your answer be, Say on, Lord; for the ears of your servant are open. So Samuel went back to his bed.
10
Then the Lord came and said as before, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel made answer, Say on, Lord; for the ears of your servant are open.
19
And Samuel became older, and the Lord was with him and let not one of his words be without effect.
20
And it was clear to all Israel from Dan to Beer-sheba that Samuel had been made a prophet of the Lord.
