GOSPEL READING: MARK 3:7-12
Jesus was very busy at work. His work was at the synagogue and then in the sea side. He did not restrict his activities to one place only. He did not want to be confined to either synagogue or outside only. Wherever people gathered in his name he was there. He blessed the people, cured them, and cleansed them from evil spirits wherever they were. He was ready to be present anywhere provided people were there in his name.
People came from the north (Galilee), from the south (Judea), from the east (Idumea) and from the west (Tyre and Sidon). People came from all over because the news about him spread everywhere. Closeness to him brought healing. He never went into retirement even if he did so he was always available for the people who sought after him.
மக்கள் வடக்கிலிருந்தும் (கலிலேயா)> தெற்கிலிருந்தும் (ய+தேயா)> கிழக்கிலிருந்தும் (இதுமேயா) மேலும் மேற்கிலிருந்தம் (தீர்> சீதோன்) அவரைத்தேடி வந்தார்கள். அவருடைய செயல்களைப்பற்றிய செய்தி எங்கும் பரவியது. அவரோடு நெருக்கமாய் இருப்பவர் குணம் பெற்றனர் (நோயுற்றோர் அனைவரும் அவரைத் தொடவேண்டுமென்று வந்து அவர்மீது விழுந்து கொண்டிருந்தனர்).
