Context of Luke 4:37

35Jesus ordered the spirit, “Keep quiet, and come out of him!” The demon threw the man down in the middle of the synagogue and came out without hurting him. 36Everyone was stunned. They said to one another, “What kind of command is this? With authority and power he gives orders to evil spirits, and they come out.” So news about him spread to every place throughout the surrounding region. 38Jesus left the synagogue and went to Simon’s house. Simon’s mother-in-law was sick with a high fever. They asked Jesus to help her. 39He bent over her, ordered the fever to leave, and it went away. She got up immediately and prepared a meal for them.
