So we do not despair no matter what life might bring because we know that as \n God raised Jesus from the dead, God promises to bring us into eternal life. \n 13Just as we have the same spirit of faith that is in accordance with scripture—“I believed, and \n so I spoke”—we also believe, and so we speak, 14because we know that the one who raised the \n Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus, and will bring us with you into his presence. 15Yes, \n everything is for your sake, so that grace, as it extends to more and more people, may increase \n thanksgiving, to the glory of God. \n 16So we do not lose heart. Even though our outer nature is wasting away, our inner \n nature is being renewed day by day. 17For this slight momentary affliction is preparing \n us for an eternal weight of glory beyond all measure, 18because we look not at what can be seen \n but at what cannot be seen; for what can be seen is temporary, but what cannot be seen is \n eternal. \n 5:1For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, a \n house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. \n The word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.","bbox":{"left":0.058824,"top":0.290137,"width":0.87792,"height":0.344847}},{"text":"GOSPEL READING: Mark 3:20-35 \n The holy gospel according to St Mark. Glory to you, O Lord. \n In response to charges that he is possessed, Jesus wonders aloud how anyone who is demon- \n possessed can cast out demons. Those who do the will of God are possessed by the Holy Spirit, \n siblings of Christ. \n [Jesus went home;] 20and the crowd came together again, so that [Jesus and the disciples] could \n not even eat. 21When his family heard it, they went out to restrain him, for people were saying, \n “He has gone out of his mind.” 22And the scribes who came down from Jerusalem said, “He has \n Beelzebul, and by the ruler of the demons he casts out demons.” 23And he called them to him, \n and spoke to them in parables, “How can Satan cast out Satan? 24If a kingdom is divided against \n itself, that kingdom cannot stand. 25And if a house is divided against itself, that house will not \n be able to stand. 26And if Satan has risen up against himself and is divided, he cannot stand, but \n his end has come. 27But no one can enter a strong man’s house and plunder his property without \n first tying up the strong man; then indeed the house can be plundered.","bbox":{"left":0.058824,"top":0.65611,"width":0.880108,"height":0.283907}}],"images_bbox":[],"images_bbox_not_text_overlap":[]}
