Jesus Heals Many at Simon’s House

²⁹And immediately he^[a] left the synagogue, and entered the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. ³⁰Now Simon’s mother-in-law lay sick with a fever, and immediately they told him of her. ³¹And he came and took her by the hand and lifted her up, and the fever left her; and she served them.

³²That evening, at sundown, they brought to him all who were sick or possessed with demons. ³³And the whole city was gathered together about the door. ³⁴And he healed many who were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons; and he would not permit the demons to speak, because they knew him.^[b]
