The City at the Door

29And immediately, after leaving the synagogue, they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.

30Simon’s mother-in-law was lying sick with a fever, and immediately they told him about her.

31And coming near, he raised her up, taking her by the hand; and the fever left her, and she served them.

32When evening came, when the sun had set, they brought to him all who were sick and those who were demon-possessed.

33And the whole city was gathered at the door.

34And he healed many who were sick with various diseases, and he cast out many demons, and he would not allow the demons to speak, because they knew him.

35And very early, while it was still dark, he got up, went out, and went away to a desolate place, and there he was praying.

36And Simon and those with him pursued him,

37And they found him and said to him, “Everyone is looking for you.”

38And he said to them, “Let us go elsewhere, to the neighboring towns, so that I may preach there also, for that is why I came out.”

39And he went throughout all Galilee, preaching in their synagogues and casting out demons.
