Context of Luke 4:39

37So 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. Jesus 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. 40When the sun was going down, people in the town brought to Jesus all those people who were ill. They had many different kinds of illness. Jesus put his hands on each ill person and they became well again. 41Also, bad spirits came out of many people. They were shouting, ‘You are the Son of God.’ The spirits knew that Jesus was the Messiah. Because of this, Jesus stopped them. He would not let them speak.
