Context of Mark 1:30
28The news about him spread quickly throughout the surrounding region of Galilee. 29After they left the synagogue, they went directly to the house of Simon and Andrew. James and John went with them. Simon’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.
