Luke 4:38-44
Chapter 4
38
Leaving the synagogue, Jesus went to the house of Simon. His mother-in-law was suffering from a high fever, and they asked him to do something for her.
39
Bending over her, he rebuked the fever, and it left her. Immediately, she got up and started serving them.
40
At sunset, people suffering from various illnesses were brought to Jesus. He laid his hands on each one and healed them.
41
demons were cast out, howling as they went, shouting, “You are the Son of God!” He rebuked them and didn’t allow them to speak, because they knew he was the Messiah.
42
Jesus left at daybreak and looked for a solitary place. People went out to find him, and when they did, they tried to persuade him not to leave.
43
But he said, “I have to go to other towns to proclaim the good news of the kingdom of God. That is what I was sent to do.”
44
And Jesus kept on preaching in the synagogues of Galilee.
