Mark 1:29-39

29After they left the synagogue, they went directly to the house of Simon and Andrew. James and John went with them.

30Simon’s mother-in-law was in bed with a fever. The first thing they did was to tell Jesus about her.

31Jesus went to her, took her hand, and helped her get up. The fever went away, and she prepared a meal for them.

32In the evening, when the sun had set, people brought to him everyone who was sick and those possessed by demons.

33The whole city had gathered at his door.

34He cured many who were sick with various diseases and forced many demons out of people. However, he would not allow the demons to speak. After all, they knew who he was.

35In the morning, long before sunrise, Jesus went to a place where he could be alone to pray.

36Simon and his friends searched for him.

37When they found him, they told him, “Everyone is looking for you.”

38Jesus said to them, “Let’s go somewhere else, to the small towns that are nearby. I have to spread ⌞the Good News⌟ in them also. This is why I have come.”

39So he went to spread ⌞the Good News⌟ in the synagogues all over Galilee, and he forced demons out of people.
