Luke 4:38-44

38Then Jesus got up and left the synagogue and went to Simon’s (Peter’s) house. Now Simon’s mother-in-law was suffering from a high fever, and they asked Him to help her.

39Standing over her, He rebuked the fever, and it left her; and immediately she got up and began serving them [as her guests].

40While the sun was setting [marking the end of the Sabbath day], all those who had any who were sick with various diseases brought them to Jesus; and laying His hands on each one of them, He was healing them [exhibiting His authority as Messiah].

41Demons also were coming out of many people, shouting, “You are the Son of God!” But He rebuked them and would not allow them to speak, because they knew that He was the Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed).

42When daybreak came, Jesus left [Simon Peter’s house] and went to a secluded place; and the crowds were searching for Him, and [they] came to Him and tried to keep Him from leaving them.

43But He said, “I must preach [the good news of] the kingdom of God to the other cities also, because I was sent for this purpose.”

44So He continued preaching in the synagogues of Judea [the country of the Jews, including Galilee].
