1In the beginning, when God created the heavens and the earth— 2and the earth was without form or shape, with darkness over the abyss and a mighty wind sweeping over the waters— 3Then God said: Let there be light, and there was light. 4God saw that the light was good. God then separated the light from the darkness. 5God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” Evening came, and morning followed—the first day. 6Then God said: Let there be a dome in the middle of the waters, to separate one body of water from the other. 7God made the dome, and it separated the water below the dome from the water above the dome. And so it happened. 8God called the dome “sky.” Evening came, and morning followed—the second day. 9Then God said: Let the water under the sky be gathered into a single basin, so that the dry land may appear. And so it happened: the water under the sky was gathered into its basin, and the dry land appeared. 10God called the dry land “earth,” and the basin of water he called “sea.” God saw that it was good. 11Then God said: Let the earth bring forth vegetation: every kind of plant that bears seed and every kind of fruit tree on earth that bears fruit with its seed in it. And so it happened: 12the earth brought forth vegetation: every kind of plant that bears seed and every kind of fruit tree that bears fruit with its seed in it. God saw that it was good. 13Evening came, and morning followed—the third day. 14Then God said: Let there be lights in the dome of the sky, to separate day from night. Let them mark the seasons, the days and the years, 15and serve as lights in the dome of the sky, to illuminate the earth. And so it happened: 16God made the two great lights, the greater one to govern the day, and the lesser one to govern the night, and the stars. 17God set them in the dome of the sky, to illuminate the earth, 18to govern the day and the night, and to separate the light from the darkness. God saw that it was good. 19Evening came, and morning followed—the fourth day.

1Psalm 104 Praise of God the Creator I - Bless the LORD, my soul! LORD, my God, you are great indeed! You are clothed with majesty and splendor, 2robed in light as with a cloak. You spread out the heavens like a tent; 5II - You fixed the earth on its foundation, so it can never be shaken. 6The deeps covered it like a garment; above the mountains stood the waters. 10III - You made springs flow in wadies that wind among the mountains. 12Beside them the birds of heaven nest; among the branches they sing. 24V - How varied are your works, LORD! In wisdom you have made them all; the earth is full of your creatures. 35May sinners vanish from the earth, and the wicked be no more. Bless the LORD, my soul! Hallelujah!

23He went around all of Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom, and curing every disease and illness among the people.

53The Healings at Gennesaret. After making the crossing, they came to land at Gennesaret and tied up there. 54As they were leaving the boat, people immediately recognized him. 55They scurried about the surrounding country and began to bring in the sick on mats to wherever they heard he was. 56Whatever villages or towns or countryside he entered, they laid the sick in the marketplaces and begged him that they might touch only the tassel on his cloak; and as many as touched it were healed.
