Mark 1:30 — A major religion teaches that their clergy must be unmarried; however, we see that Simon (later Peter) had a mother-in-law. Most people with a mother-in-law also have a wife.
Mark 1:34 — Again, Jesus orders the devils to not speak (as we discussed yesterday).
Mark 2:4 — As Vic Eliason used to say, “The press caused problems even back then.”
