³⁵Jesus ordered the spirit, “Be quiet and come out of the man!” The demon threw the man down in front of them and went out of him without doing him any harm.

³⁶The people were all amazed and said to one another, “What kind of words are these? With authority and power this man gives orders to the evil spirits, and they come out!” ³⁷And the report about Jesus spread everywhere in that region.

Jesus Heals Many People

³⁸Jesus left the synagogue and went to Simon’s house. Simon’s mother-in-law was sick with a high fever, and they spoke to Jesus about her. ³⁹He went and stood at her bedside and ordered the fever to leave her. The fever left her, and she got up at once and began to wait on them.

⁴⁰After sunset all who had friends who were sick with various diseases brought them to Jesus; he placed his hands on every one of them and healed them all. ⁴¹Demons also went out from many people, screaming, “You are the Son of God!”

Jesus gave the demons an order and would not let them speak, because they knew that he was the Messiah.

Jesus Preaches in the Synagogues

⁴²At daybreak Jesus left the town and went off to a lonely place. The people started looking for him, and when they found him, they tried to keep him from leaving. ⁴³But he said to them, “I must preach the Good News about the Kingdom of God in other towns also, because that is what God sent me to do.”

⁴⁴So he preached in the synagogues throughout the country.
