Context of Mark 1:28

26The bad spirit caused the man to shake and to fall down. It shouted loudly and then it came out of the man. 27All the people were very surprised and they said to each other, ‘This is very strange. This man Jesus is teaching us something new and he speaks with authority. He can tell bad spirits what they must do. Then they do it.’ Immediately, people began to hear the news about Jesus. Everywhere in Galilee, people were talking about him. 29Then Jesus left the meeting place. He took James and John with him to the home of Simon and Andrew. 30The mother of Simon's wife was ill in bed. Her body was very hot. Immediately, Simon and Andrew told Jesus about her.
