Mark 1:29-39 As soon as they left the synagogue, Jesus went with James and John to the home of Simon and Andrew. Simon’s mother-in-law was in bed with a fever, and they immediately told Jesus about her. So he went to her, took her hand, and helped her up. Then the fever left her, and she began to serve them. When evening came, after sunset, they brought to him all who were sick and those possessed by demons. The whole town was gathered at the door. He healed many who were sick with various diseases and drove out many demons, not permitting the demons to speak because they knew him. Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house, and went to a solitary place, where he prayed. Simon and those who were with him pursued him. When they found him, they said, “Everyone is looking for you.” He told them, “Let us go on to the nearby villages that I may preach there also; for that is why I came.” So he went into their synagogues throughout all Galilee, preaching and driving out demons.
