2015DBRP_010 Gen19 Job10 Mrk6b


Thanks to Ashlee Smith who has read a lot of the women’s parts, such as for Sarah in yesterday’s reading and Lot’s daughters today. Ashlee is the Director of Children’s Ministries at our church.

In yesterday's reading, Abram and Sarai received new names and God confirmed and expanded his covenant with Abram (now Abraham). Circumcision was added as a sign of following the covenant. Angels visited Abraham and Sarah and Abraham bargained with God about saving the few righteous people in Sodom— among whom I am sure Abraham was thinking of Lot.

Job continues his response to Bildad. At the end of chapter 9 Job

showed mankind's need of a mediator:

32 “God is not a mortal like me,

so I cannot argue with him or take him to trial.

33 If only there were a mediator between us,

someone who could bring us together.

34 The mediator could make God stop beating me,

and I would no longer live in terror of his

punishment.

35 Then I could speak to him without fear,

but I cannot do that in my own strength.

And mankind has now received that mediator in the person of

Jesus.

In the first part of chapter 6, Jesus sent out the twelve disciples after giving them authority to cast out evil spirits. He also sent them to teach, and to heal. Then we learned about the death of John the Baptist.

Translation notes:

44 A total of 5,000 men [plus some their uncounted families members//and their families] were fed from those loaves!

48 He saw that they were in serious trouble, rowing hard and struggling against the wind and waves. About three o’clock in the morning Jesus came toward them, walking on the water. He [acted as if he//0] intended to go past them,
