💧 Mark 6
Mark 6 opens with these words: “He went out from there. He came into his own country, and his disciples followed him.” The line to keep is Mark 6:34: “Jesus came out, saw a great multitude, and he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd, and he began to teach them many things.” Carry the word “jesus” from that verse into the rest of the day.
