7 Jesus departed with his disciples to the sea, and a great multitude from Galilee followed him; 8 hearing all that he was doing, they came to him in great numbers from Judea, Jerusalem, Idumea, beyond the Jordan, and the region around Tyre and Sidon. 9 He told his disciples to have a boat ready for him because of the crowd, so that they would not crush him, 10 for he had cured many, so that all who had diseases pressed upon him to touch him. 11 Whenever the unclean spirits saw him, they fell down before him and shouted, “You are the Son of God!” 12 But he sternly ordered them not to make him known.
Prayer Focus: The crowds continue to flock to Jesus as he teaches and heals in Galilee. This is the height of his popularity! Note how unclean spirits identify Jesus as the Son of God. As readers of the gospel, we know this from Mark 1:1, but even the disciples do not seem to know exactly who Jesus is yet. Pray that you might see Jesus not just for what he can do for you (like healing). Pray that you might recognize Jesus as the Son of God, Lord of heaven and earth!
