Jesus Heals Many
38 (A)And he arose and left the synagogue and entered Simon's house. Now (B)Simon's mother-in-law was ill with a high fever, and they appealed to him on her behalf. 39 And he stood over her and (C)rebuked the fever, and it left her, and immediately she rose and began to serve them.
40 Now when the sun was setting, all those who had any who were sick with various diseases brought them to him, and (D)he laid his hands on every one of them and healed them. 41 (E)And demons also came out of many, (F)crying, “You are (G)the Son of God!” But he rebuked them and (H)would not allow them to speak, because they knew that he was (I)the Christ.
Jesus Preaches in Synagogues
42 (J)And when it was day, he departed and went (K)into a desolate place. And (L)the people sought him and came to him, and would have kept him from leaving them, 43 but he said to them, (M)“I must (N)preach the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns as well; for I was sent for this purpose.” 44 And he was preaching (O)in the synagogues of Judea.[a]
Jesus Calls the First Disciples
5 On one occasion, while the crowd was pressing in on him to hear the word of God, he was standing by (P)the lake of Gennesaret, 2 (Q)and he saw two boats by the lake, but the fishermen had gone out of them and were (R)washing their nets. 3 Getting into one of the boats, which was Simon's, he asked him to put out a little from the land. And (S)he sat down and taught the people from the boat. 4 And when he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, (T)“Put out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.” 5 And Simon answered, “Master, (U)we toiled all night and took nothing! But at your word I will let down the nets.” 6 And when they had done this, (V)they enclosed a large number of fish, and (W)their nets were breaking. 7 They signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. (X)And they came and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink. 8 But when Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, (Y)“Depart from me, for (Z)I am a sinful man, O Lord.” 9 For he and all who were with him were astonished at the catch of fish that they had taken, 10 and so also were James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid; from now on you will be catching men.”[b] 11 And when they had brought their boats to land, (AA)they left everything and followed him.
Jesus Cleanses a Leper
12 While he was in one of the cities, (AB)there came a man full of leprosy.[c] And when he saw Jesus, he (AC)fell on his face and begged him, “Lord, (AD)if you will, you can make me clean.” 13 And Jesus[d] stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, “I will; be clean.” And immediately the leprosy left him. 14 And he charged him (AE)to tell no one, but “go and show (AF)yourself to the priest, and (AG)make an offering for your cleansing, as Moses commanded, (AH)for a proof to them.” 15 (AI)But now even more the report about him went abroad, and great crowds gathered to hear him and to be healed of their infirmities. 16 But (AJ)he would withdraw to desolate places and (AK)pray.

Jesus Heals Many(A)(B)
38 Jesus left the synagogue and went to the home of Simon. Now Simon’s mother-in-law was suffering from a high fever, and they asked Jesus to help her. 39 So he bent over her and rebuked(C) the fever, and it left her. She got up at once and began to wait on them.
40 At sunset, the people brought to Jesus all who had various kinds of sickness, and laying his hands on each one,(D) he healed them.(E) 41 Moreover, demons came out of many people, shouting, “You are the Son of God!”(F) But he rebuked(G) them and would not allow them to speak,(H) because they knew he was the Messiah.
42 At daybreak, Jesus went out to a solitary place. The people were looking for him and when they came to where he was, they tried to keep him from leaving them. 43 But he said, “I must proclaim the good news of the kingdom of God(I) to the other towns also, because that is why I was sent.” 44 And he kept on preaching in the synagogues of Judea.(J)
Jesus Calls His First Disciples(K)
5 One day as Jesus was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret,[a] the people were crowding around him and listening to the word of God.(L) 2 He saw at the water’s edge two boats, left there by the fishermen, who were washing their nets. 3 He got into one of the boats, the one belonging to Simon, and asked him to put out a little from shore. Then he sat down and taught the people from the boat.(M)
4 When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into deep water, and let down the nets for a catch.”(N)
5 Simon answered, “Master,(O) we’ve worked hard all night and haven’t caught anything.(P) But because you say so, I will let down the nets.”
6 When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to break.(Q) 7 So they signaled their partners in the other boat to come and help them, and they came and filled both boats so full that they began to sink.
8 When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus’ knees and said, “Go away from me, Lord; I am a sinful man!”(R) 9 For he and all his companions were astonished at the catch of fish they had taken, 10 and so were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, Simon’s partners.
Then Jesus said to Simon, “Don’t be afraid;(S) from now on you will fish for people.” 11 So they pulled their boats up on shore, left everything and followed him.(T)
Jesus Heals a Man With Leprosy(U)
12 While Jesus was in one of the towns, a man came along who was covered with leprosy.[b](V) When he saw Jesus, he fell with his face to the ground and begged him, “Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean.”
13 Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” he said. “Be clean!” And immediately the leprosy left him.
14 Then Jesus ordered him, “Don’t tell anyone,(W) but go, show yourself to the priest and offer the sacrifices that Moses commanded(X) for your cleansing, as a testimony to them.”
15 Yet the news about him spread all the more,(Y) so that crowds of people came to hear him and to be healed of their sicknesses. 16 But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed.(Z)
