Lev 4-5; Prov 18; Mark 5

Proverbs 18: What good and favorable gift comes from the Lord?

Mark 5:  What did Jesus ask  the evil spirit that was tormeting this boy?  What did the people of the region ask of Jesus? What did the man with the unclean spirit who was healed ask of Jesus and what was His response?  What did Jesus tell the father, mother and the others that witnessed the healing of Jairus’ daughter?

Journal Prompt: Why do you think Jesus tells some to spread the news of His miracles and others to remain silent?

Answers:

Proverbs 18: A wife is a good and favorable gift from the Lord!

Mark 5: Jesus asked the evil spirit what his name was.  It seems like an odd detail to include.  He said his name was Legion.  The people of the region begged Jesus to leave their region.  The man who was healed asked Jesus to take him with Him, but Jesus told him to remain and to tell others about what had happened.

After healing Jairus’ daughter, he told those who witnessed the healing not to tell anyone.  (My version says He strictly charged them not to tell.) And he told them to give her something to eat.
