4:38 After Jesus left 1 the synagogue, he entered Simon’s house. Now Simon’s mother-in-law was suffering from a high fever, and they asked Jesus 2 to help her. 3 4:39 So 4 he stood over her, commanded 5 the fever, and it left her. Immediately 6 she got up and began to serve 7 them.
4:40 As the sun was setting, all those who had any relatives 8 sick with various diseases brought them to Jesus. 9 He placed 10 his hands on every one of them and healed them. 4:41 Demons also came out 11 of many, crying out, 12 “You are the Son of God!” 13 But he rebuked 14 them, and would not allow them to speak, 15 because they knew that he was the Christ. 16
4:42 The next morning 17 Jesus 18 departed and went to a deserted place. Yet 19 the crowds were seeking him, and they came to him and tried to keep him from leaving them. 4:43 But Jesus 20 said to them, “I must 21 proclaim the good news of the kingdom 22 of God to the other towns 23 too, for that is what I was sent 24 to do.” 25 4:44 So 26 he continued to preach in the synagogues of Judea. 27
