^6 (A)Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, ^7 (B)casting all your anxieties on him, because ^(C)he cares for you. ^8 (D)Be sober-minded; ^(E)be watchful. Your ^(F)adversary the devil ^(G)prowls around ^(H)like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. ^9 (I)Resist him, ^(J)firm in your faith, knowing that ^(K)the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world. ¹⁰ And ^(L)after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, ^(M)who has called you to his ^(N)eternal glory in Christ, will himself ^(O)restore, ^(P)confirm, strengthen, and establish you. ^11 (Q)To him be the dominion forever and ever. Amen.

Jesus Heals Many

^29 (A)And immediately he^{[a] (B)}left the synagogue and entered the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. ³⁰ Now ^(C)Simon's mother-in-law lay ill with a fever, and immediately they told him about her. ³¹ And he came and ^(D)took her by the hand and lifted her up, and the fever left her, and she began to serve them.

³² That evening at sundown they brought to him all who were sick or ^(E)oppressed by demons. ³³ And the whole city was gathered together at the door. ^34 (F)And he healed many who were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons. And ^(G)he would not permit the demons to speak, because they knew him.

Jesus Preaches in Galilee

^35 (H)And rising very early in the morning, while it was still dark, he departed and went out to a desolate place, and ^(I)there he prayed. ³⁶ And Simon and those who were with him searched for him, ³⁷ and they found him and said to him, ^(J)“Everyone is looking for you.” ³⁸ And he said to them, “Let us go on to the next towns, that I may preach there also, for ^(K)that is why I came out.” ^39 (L)And ^(M)he went throughout all Galilee, preaching in their synagogues and casting out demons.
