A Day of Healing

29

Immediately, when they had come out of the synagogue, they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with Jacob and Yochanan.

30

Now Simon’s wife’s mother lay sick with a fever, and immediately they told him about her.

31

He came and took her by the hand, and raised her up. The fever left her, and she served them.

32

At evening, when the sun had set, they brought to him all who were sick, and those who were possessed by demons.

33

All the city was gathered together at the door.

34

He healed many who were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons. He didn’t allow the demons to speak, because they knew him.

35

Early in the morning, while it was still dark, he rose up and went out, and departed into a deserted place, and prayed there.

36

Simon and those who were with him followed after him;

37

and they found him, and told him, “Everyone is looking for you.”

38

He said to them, “Let’s go elsewhere into the next towns, that I may proclaim there also, because I came out for this reason.”

39

He went into their synagogues throughout all Galilee, proclaiming and casting out demons.
