In yesterday's reading we heard about God scattering people by
confusing their languages. Then we traced the ancestry of Abram, who descended from Seth's line. Then we read of the call of Abram and what happened when they were staying in Egypt because of a
famine.

We turn to Job 7. Today we hear the second chapter of Job’s response to Eliphaz. In chapter 6 Job said,
10 At least I can take comfort in this:
Despite the pain,
I have not denied the words of the Holy One.
And he also complained:
29 Stop assuming my guilt,
for I have done no wrong.

We turn to Mark 5. We completed the ‘parable chapter’ yesterday. Following the parable of the mustard seed, Jesus also slept in a boat while a storm was raging on the lake, and then he calmed the storm.
Translation notes:
8 For Jesus had [already/0] said to the
spirit, “Come out of the man, you evil spirit.”
9 Then Jesus demanded,
“What is your name?”
And he replied, “My name is [Batalion/Legion], because
there are many of us inside this man.”
A Roman legion could be as many as 6,826 men.
15 A crowd soon gathered around Jesus, and they saw the man who had been possessed by the [batalion/legion] of demons. He was sitting there fully clothed and perfectly sane, and they were all afraid.
20 So the man [went/started] off to visit the Ten Towns of that region and began to proclaim the great things Jesus had done for him; and everyone was amazed at what he told them.
