Jonah 3:1-5

Jonah’s Preaching

Then the word of the Lord came to Jonah a second time:(A) “Get up! Go to the great city of Nineveh(B) and preach(C) the message that I tell you.” So Jonah got up and went to Nineveh according to the Lord’s command.

Now Nineveh was an extremely large city,[a](D) a three-day walk.[b] Jonah set out on the first day of his walk in the city and proclaimed,(E) “In 40 days Nineveh will be demolished!” The men of Nineveh believed in God.[c] They proclaimed a fast(F) and dressed in sackcloth—from the greatest of them to the least.

Jonah 3:10

10 Then God saw their actions—that they had turned from their evil ways(A)—so God relented from the disaster(B) He had threatened to do to them. And He did not do it.

Psalm 62:5-12

Rest in God alone, my soul,
for my hope comes from Him.(A)
He alone is my rock and my salvation,(B)
my stronghold; I will not be shaken.(C)
My salvation and glory depend on God, my strong rock.
My refuge is in God.(D)
Trust in Him at all times, you people;
pour out your hearts before Him.
God is our refuge.(E)Selah

Men are only a vapor;
exalted men, an illusion.
Weighed in the scales, they go up;
together they are less than a vapor.(F)
10 Place no trust in oppression,
or false hope in robbery.
If wealth increases,
pay no attention to it.[a](G)

11 God has spoken once;
I have heard this twice:
strength belongs to God,(H)
12 and faithful love belongs to You, Lord.
For You repay each according to his works.(I)

1 Corinthians 7:29-31

29 And I say this, brothers: The time is limited,(A) so from now on those who have wives should be as though they had none, 30 those who weep as though they did not weep, those who rejoice(B) as though they did not rejoice, those who buy as though they did not possess, 31 and those who use the world as though they did not make full use of it. For this world in its current form is passing away.(C)

Mark 1:14-20

Ministry in Galilee

14 After(A) John was arrested,(B) Jesus went to Galilee,(C) preaching(D) the good news[a][b](E) of God:[c](F) 15 “The time(G) is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God(H) has come(I) near.(J) Repent(K) and believe(L) in the good news!”

The First Disciples

16 As(M) He was passing along by the Sea of Galilee,(N) He saw Simon(O) and Andrew,(P) Simon’s brother. They were casting a net into the sea,(Q) since they were fishermen.

17 “Follow Me,”(R) Jesus told them, “and I will make you fish for[d](S) people!”(T) 18 Immediately they left their nets and followed(U) Him.(V) 19 Going on a little farther, He saw James(W) the son of Zebedee(X) and his brother John.(Y) They were in their boat mending their nets. 20 Immediately He called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men and followed Him.(Z)
