29As soon as [Jesus and the disciples] left the synagogue, they entered the house of
Simon and Andrew, with James and John. 30Now Simon’s mother-in-law was in
bed with a fever, and they told him about her at once. 31He came and took her by
the hand and lifted her up. Then the fever left her, and she began to serve them.
32That evening, at sunset, they brought to him all who were sick or possessed
with demons. 33And the whole city was gathered around the door. 34And he cured
many who were sick with various disease, and cast out many demons; and he would
not permit the demons to speak, because they knew him.
35In the morning, while it was still very dark, he got up and went out to a
deserted place, and there he prayed. 36And Simon and his companions hunted for
him. 37When they found him, they said to him, “Everyone is searching for
you.” 38He answered, “Let us go on to the neighboring towns, so that I may
proclaim the message there also; for that is what I came out to do.” 39And he went
throughout Galilee, proclaiming the message in their synagogues and casting out
demons.
