Context of Luke 4:37

35Jesus said to the spirit, ‘Be quiet! Come out of the man!’ Then the bad spirit caused the man to fall to the ground in front of the people. It came out of the man but it did not hurt him. 36All the people were very surprised and they said to each other, ‘Listen to what this man says! He has power and authority. He tells bad spirits to come out of people, and they come out.’ So they began to tell everyone about Jesus. Because of this, people in all the places near Capernaum heard the news about Jesus. 38Jesus then left the meeting place and he went to Simon's home. The mother of Simon's wife was ill and her body was very hot. So they asked Jesus to make her well. 39Jesus came and he stood near her. He told the illness to go away and immediately she was well again. She got up and she prepared food for her visitors.

Our business should be to spread abroad Christ's fame in every place, to beseech him in behalf of those diseased…Read the comment
