Gospel Note:
Mark reflects his characteristic viewpoint on miracles in
this story about Jesus' healing of Peter's mother-in-law and
others in Capernaum, namely, that, however important, they are
so subordinate to the Gospel message that Jesus isolates himself
after them and resists pressure to stay and do more, all in
order that he might fulfill his main mission; preaching
throughout Galilee.

Suggested Hymns:
O Christ, The Healer, We Have Come
