Bible Reading 2/12/26

February 12, 2026 by Joseph Lemke Leave a Comment

Mark 3:2-6

 2 Some of them were looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, so they watched him closely to see if he would heal him on the Sabbath. 3 Jesus said to the man with the shriveled hand, “Stand up in front of everyone.”

4 Then Jesus asked them, “Which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill?” But they remained silent.

5 He looked around at them in anger and, deeply distressed at their stubborn hearts, said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out, and his hand was completely restored. 6 Then the Pharisees went out and began to plot with the Herodians how they might kill Jesus.

I thought it was intriguing how the Pharisees were already looking to kill Jesus.

Mark 2:4 Since they could not get him to Jesus because of the crowd, they made an opening in the roof above Jesus by digging through it and then lowered the mat the man was lying on. 

I thought it was interesting that they lowered him through the ceiling, as there was no room for them, and that they knew that Jesus would heal the paralyzed man.

The Rule of St. Benedict is a set of guidelines for living a life in a monastery, written by St. Benedict around 516. They were written to govern the daily life of a monk living in a community under the guidance of an abbot. The Rule emphasizes moderation, obedience, stability, humility, prayer, and work, avoiding extreme regulation. It would become the foundation for Western monasticism, strongly influencing medieval European religious, educational, and cultural life.

The routine of a monk would consist of prayer, work, and reading. Monks took vows of stability (staying in one community), obedience, and conversion of life (ongoing spiritual growth).

Mark 1:40
 A man with leprosy[h] came to him and begged him on his knees, “If you are willing, you can make me clean.”

I thought it was interesting that the man knew that Jesus had immense power.

14 If this report gets to the governor, we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble.” 15 So the soldiers took the money and did as they were instructed. And this story has been widely circulated among the Jews to this very day.

I thought it was interesting how Matthew said that people still believed that the disciples stole Jesus’s body at the time of the writing of this book.
