Lectionary

February -09-2025 Fifth Sunday After Epiphany (Dhanaha)

Mark1:12-20

12The Spirit immediately drove him out into the wilderness.

13And he was in the wilderness forty days, tempted by Satan; and he was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered to him.

14Now after John was arrested, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God,

15and saying, "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent, and believe in the gospel."

16And passing along by the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew the brother of Simon casting a net in the sea; for they were fishermen.

17And Jesus said to them, "Follow me and I will make you become fishers of men."

18And immediately they left their nets and followed him.

19And going on a little farther, he saw James the son of Zeb'edee and John his brother, who were in their boat mending the nets.

20And immediately he called them; and they left their father Zeb'edee in the boat with the hired servants, and followed him.

മർക്കൊസ് 1:12-20 

12അനന്തരം ആത്മാവു അവനെ മരുഭൂമിയിലേക്കു പോകുവാൻ നിർബന്ധിച്ചു.

13അവിടെ അവൻ സാത്താനാൽ പരീക്ഷിക്കപ്പെട്ടു നാല്പതു ദിവസം മരുഭൂമിയിൽ കാട്ടുമൃഗങ്ങളോടുകൂടെ ആയിരുന്നു; ദൂതന്മാർ അവനെ ശുശ്രൂഷിച്ചു പോന്നു.

14എന്നാൽ യോഹന്നാൻ തടവിൽ ആയശേഷം യേശു ഗലീലയിൽ ചെന്നു ദൈവരാജ്യത്തിന്റെ സുവിശേഷം പ്രസംഗിച്ചു:

15“കാലം തികഞ്ഞു ദൈവരാജ്യം സമീപിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നു; മാനസാന്തരപ്പെട്ടു സുവിശേഷത്തിൽ വിശ്വസിപ്പിൻ” എന്നു പറഞ്ഞു.

16അവൻ ഗലീലക്കടല്പുറത്തു നടക്കുമ്പോൾ ശീമോനും അവന്റെ സഹോദരനായ അന്ത്രെയാസും കടലിൽ വല വീശുന്നതു കണ്ടു; അവർ മീൻ പിടിക്കുന്നവർ ആയിരുന്നു.

17യേശു അവരോടു: “എന്നെ അനുഗമിപ്പിൻ; ഞാൻ നിങ്ങളെ മനുഷ്യരെ പിടിക്കുന്നവരാക്കും” എന്നു പറഞ്ഞു.

18ഉടനെ അവർ വല വിട്ടു അവനെ അനുഗമിച്ചു.

19അവിടെ നിന്നു അല്പം മുന്നോട്ടു ചെന്നപ്പോൾ സെബെദിയുടെ മകനായ യാക്കോബും അവന്റെ സഹോദരനായ യോഹന്നാനും പടകിൽ ഇരുന്നു വല നന്നാക്കുന്നതു കണ്ടു.

20ഉടനെ അവരെയും വിളിച്ചു; അവർ അപ്പനായ സെബെദിയെ കൂലിക്കാരോടുകൂടെ പടകിൽ വിട്ടു അവനെ അനുഗമിച്ചു.
