27. Everyone was shaken and questioned among themselves, "What’s this? A new teaching with authority! He even commands unclean spirits and they obey him!"
28. Right away the news about him spread throughout the entire region of Galilee.
29. After leaving the synagogue, Jesus, James, and John went home with Simon and Andrew.
30. Simon’s mother-in-law was in bed, sick with a fever, and they told Jesus about her at once.
31. He went to her, took her by the hand, and raised her up. The fever left her, and she served them.
32. That evening, at sunset, people brought to Jesus those who were sick or demon-possessed.
33. The whole town gathered near the door.
34. He healed many who were sick with all kinds of diseases, and he threw out many demons. But he didn’t let the demons speak, because they recognized him.
35. Early in the morning, well before sunrise, Jesus rose and went to a deserted place where he could be alone in prayer.
