38And after rising from the synagogue, he entered Simon’s house. Now Simon’s mother-in-law was afflicted with a high fever, and they asked him about her.

39And standing over her, he rebuked the fever, and it left her. Immediately she got up and began serving them.

40When the sun was setting, all who had people sick with various diseases brought them to him; and he laid his hands on each one of them and healed them.

41Demons also were coming out of many, crying out and saying, “You are the Son of God!” But rebuking them, he would not allow them to speak, because they knew that he was the Messiah.
