Luke 4:38-44

New International Version

Jesus Heals Many^(A)^(B)

³⁸Jesus 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. ³⁹So he bent over her and rebuked^(C) the fever, and it left her. She got up at once and began to wait on them.

⁴⁰At 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) ⁴¹Moreover, 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.

⁴²At 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. ⁴³But 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.” ⁴⁴And he kept on preaching in the synagogues of Judea.^(J)
