2 Kings 20:1-11 First Lesson
1. In those days Hezekiah became sick and was at the point of death. The prophet Isaiah son of Amoz came to him, and said to him, “Thus says the Lord: Set your house in order, for you shall die; you shall not recover.”
2. Then Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to the Lord:
3. “Remember now, O Lord, I implore you, how I have walked before you in faithfulness with a whole heart, and have done what is good in your sight.” Hezekiah wept bitterly.
4. Before Isaiah had gone out of the middle court, the word of the Lord came to him:
5. “Turn back, and say to Hezekiah prince of my people, Thus says the Lord, the God of your ancestor David: I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears; indeed, I will heal you; on the third day you shall go up to the house of the Lord.
6. I will add fifteen years to your life. I will deliver you and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria; I will defend this city for my own sake and for my servant David’s sake.”
7. Then Isaiah said, “Bring a lump of figs. Let them take it and apply it to the boil, so that he may recover.”
8. Hezekiah said to Isaiah, “What shall be the sign that the Lord will heal me, and that I shall go up to the house of the Lord on the third day?”
9. Isaiah said, “This is the sign to you from the Lord, that the Lord will do the thing that he has promised: the shadow has now advanced ten intervals; shall it retreat ten intervals?”
10. Hezekiah answered, “It is normal for the shadow to lengthen ten intervals; rather let the shadow retreat ten intervals.”
11. The prophet Isaiah cried to the Lord; and he brought the shadow back the ten intervals, by which the sun had declined on the dial of Ahaz. Envoys from Babylon

Hebrews 9:11-14 Second Lesson
11. But when Christ came as a high priest of the good things that have come, then through the greater and perfect tent (not made with hands, that is, not of this creation),
12. he entered once for all into the Holy Place, not with the blood of goats and calves, but with his own blood, thus obtaining eternal redemption.
13. For if the blood of goats and bulls, with the sprinkling of the ashes of a heifer, sanctifies those who have been defiled so that their flesh is purified,
14. how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, purify our conscience from dead works to worship the living God!

James 5:13-18 Epistle
13. Are any among you suffering? They should pray. Are any cheerful? They should sing songs of praise.
14. Are any among you sick? They should call for the elders of the church and have them pray over them, anointing them with oil in the name of the Lord.
15. The prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise them up; and anyone who has committed sins will be forgiven.
16. Therefore confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, so that you may be healed. The prayer of the righteous is powerful and effective.
17. Elijah was a human being like us, and he prayed fervently that it might not rain, and for three years and six months it did not rain on the earth.
18. Then he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain and the earth yielded its harvest.

Mark 5:25-34 Gospel
25. Now there was a woman who had been suffering from a flow of blood for twelve years.
26. She had endured much under many physicians and had spent all that she had, and she was no better but rather grew worse.
27. She had heard about Jesus and came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak,
28. for she said, “If I but touch his cloak, I will be made well.”
29. Immediately her flow of blood stopped, and she felt in her body that she was healed of her disease.
30. Immediately aware that power had gone forth from him, Jesus turned about in the crowd and said, “Who touched my cloak?”
31. And his disciples said to him, “You see the crowd pressing in on you; how can you say, ‘Who touched me?’ ”
32. He looked all around to see who had done it.
33. But the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came in fear and trembling, fell down before him, and told him the whole truth.
34. He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace, and be healed of your disease.”
