1As you read Matthew 8–9 and Mark 2–5, be responsive to impressions you receive from the Holy Ghost.
2Consider writing down the promptings you receive and the things you can do to act on those promptings.
3It’s hard to read the New Testament without being impressed by the many accounts of the Savior healing the sick and afflicted—everyone from a woman with a fever to a girl who had been pronounced dead.
4What messages might there be for us in these miracles of physical healing?
5Certainly one obvious message is that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, with power over all things, including our physical pains and imperfections.
6So when you read about a blind person or a leper being healed, you might think of the healing—both spiritual and physical—that you can receive from the Savior and hear Him say to you, “Thy faith hath made thee whole” (Mark 5:34).
7But another meaning is found in His words to the skeptical scribes: “That ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins” (Mark 2:10).
7從祂對充滿懷疑的文士所說的話，我們發現到另一項有意義的信息：「要叫你們知道，人子在地上有赦罪的權柄」（馬可福音2：10）。
8These few chapters record many instances of miraculous healings performed by the Savior.
9As you study these healings, look for possible messages for you.
10You might ask yourself: What does the account teach about faith?
11What does the account teach about the Savior?
12What does God want me to learn from this miracle?
13A leper (Matthew 8:1–4)
14A centurion’s servant (Matthew 8:5–13)
15Peter’s mother-in-law (Matthew 8:14–15)
16Two blind men (Matthew 9:27–31)
17A man who was paralyzed (Mark 2:1–12)
18A man possessed by evil spirits (Mark 5:1–20)
19Jairus’s daughter (Mark 5:22–23, 35–43)
20A woman with an issue of blood (Mark 5:24–34)
21See also Dallin H. Oaks, “Healing the Sick,” Ensign or Liahona, May 2010, 47–50.
22Jesus Healing the Sick, by Joseph Brickey, after Heinrich Hofmann
23The centurion, a Gentile, felt unworthy to have the Savior in his home.
24The woman with an issue of blood was considered unclean and was ostracized from Jewish society.
25Yet the Savior blessed them both.
26What do you learn from these two accounts about seeking help from the Lord?
27In these verses, Jesus taught that being His disciples requires us to put Him first in our lives, even if that sometimes means we must sacrifice other things that we value.
28As you study these passages, ponder your own discipleship.
29Why must disciples be willing to put the Savior first?
30What might you need to give up in order to put Jesus first? (See also Luke 9:57–62.)
31Have you ever felt the way Jesus’s disciples did in the storm at sea—watching the waves of water fill the boat and questioning, “Master, carest thou not that we perish?”
32In Mark 4:35–41, you will find four questions.
33List each one, and ponder what it teaches you about facing life’s challenges with faith in Jesus Christ.
34How does the Savior bring peace to the storms of your life?
35It is sometimes difficult to know how to respond when people criticize our religious beliefs and practices.
36As you read Matthew 9:1–13 and Mark 2:15–17, look for the criticisms of the accusers and the Savior’s responses.
37Consider marking the criticisms and responses in different colors or writing them down.
38What do you notice about the way the Savior taught?
39How could following His example help you if you have to defend a gospel principle or Church practice?
40See also the video “Everyday Example: When Beliefs Are Questioned” (LDS.org).
41When a paralyzed man was brought to the Savior, it was obvious to the crowd that he needed to be healed physically.
42But Jesus addressed the man’s greater need first—forgiveness of his sins.
43Even if the man had not been healed physically, he could still have followed Jesus’s counsel to “be of good cheer” (Matthew 9:2).
44When have you felt joy because you have been forgiven? (See also Alma 36:18–24.)
45As you continue learning about the Savior’s ministry with your family, the Spirit can help you know what principles to emphasize and discuss in order to meet the needs of your family.
46Here are some suggestions:
47Consider creating a list of the miracles described in these chapters and finding pictures of some of them (see the Gospel Art Book or LDS.org).
48You might ask each family member to tell about one of the miracles (using a picture if available) and share what they learn from it.
49You might share some examples of miracles you have witnessed or read about in modern-day Church history.
50What do we learn from the way the Savior treated the publicans and sinners, who were shunned by others?
51How can we follow His example as we interact with other people?
52How can you help your family understand the Savior’s plea for more laborers to help share the gospel?
53You could do something as simple as working together at a task that would take a lot longer for one person, such as cleaning the kitchen after dinner.
54What can we do to share the message of the gospel?
55Could this account help family members when they feel afraid?
56Perhaps they could read verse 39 and share experiences when the Savior helped them feel peace during times of turmoil or fear.
57For more ideas for teaching children, see this week’s outline in Come, Follow Me—For Primary.
58Be available and accessible.
59Some of the best teaching moments start as questions or concerns in the hearts of family members.
60Let family members know through your words and actions that you are eager to hear them (see Teaching in the Savior’s Way, 16).
