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.

The Word of Life

1 ^(A)That which was ^(B)from the beginning, ^(C)which we have heard, ^(D)which we have seen with our eyes, ^(E)which we looked upon and ^(F)have touched with our hands, concerning the word^[a] of life— ^2 (G)the life ^(H)was made manifest, and we have seen it, and ^(I)testify to it and proclaim to you the eternal life, ^(J)which was with the Father and ^(K)was made manifest to us— ^3 (L)that which we have seen and heard we proclaim also to you, so that you too may have fellowship with us; and indeed ^(M)our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ. ⁴ And we are writing these things so ^(N)that our^[b] joy may be complete.
