The reading source for this year is the New Testament. The reading assignment for the week of March 6-12 is Matthew 9-10, Mark 5 and Luke 9. The devotional “Come, Follow Me” says that these passages show that “Word of Jesus’s healing miracles was spreading quickly. Multitudes followed him, hoping for relief from their sicknesses. But when the Savior looked upon the multitudes, he saw more than their physical ailments. He saw ‘sheep having no shepherd’.”
