³⁶All the people were amazed. They said to each other, “What is this teaching? With authority and power he gives orders to evil spirits. And they come out!”

³⁷The news about Jesus spread throughout the whole area.

Jesus Heals Many People

³⁸Jesus left the synagogue and went to the home of Simon. At that time, Simon’s mother-in-law was suffering from a high fever. So they asked Jesus to help her. ³⁹He bent over her and commanded the fever to leave, and it left her. She got up at once and began to serve them.

⁴⁰At sunset, people brought to Jesus all who were sick. He placed his hands on each one and healed them. ⁴¹Also, demons came out of many people. The demons shouted, “You are the Son of God!” But he commanded them to be quiet. He would not allow them to speak, because they knew he was the Christ.

⁴²At dawn, Jesus went out to a place where he could be by himself. The people went to look for him. When they found him, they tried to keep him from leaving them. ⁴³But he said, “I must announce the good news of God’s kingdom to the other towns also. That is why I was sent.” ⁴⁴And he kept on preaching in the synagogues of Judea.
