Mark 1:29–39

Jesus Heals Many at Simon’s House

²⁹As soon as theyⁿ left the synagogue, they entered the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.^{* 30}Now 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 by demons.^{* 33}And the whole city was gathered around the door. ³⁴And he cured many who were sick with various diseases and cast out many demons, and he would not permit the demons to speak, because they knew him.^*

A Preaching Tour in Galilee

³⁵In the morning, while it was still very dark, he got up and went out to a deserted place, and there he prayed.^{* 36}And 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.”^{* 39}And he went throughout all Galilee, proclaiming the message in their synagogues and casting out demons.^*
