²⁹ And at once He left the synagogue and went into the house of Simon [Peter] and Andrew, accompanied by James and John.

³⁰ Now Simon’s mother-in-law ^[a]had for some time been lying sick with a fever, and at once they told Him about her.

³¹ And He went up to her and took her by the hand and raised her up; and the fever left her, and she began to wait on them.

³² Now when it was evening, after the sun had set, they brought to Him all who were sick and those under the power of demons,

³³ Until the whole town was gathered together about the door.

³⁴ And He cured many who were afflicted with various diseases; and He drove out many demons, but would not allow the demons to talk because they knew Him [^[b]intuitively].

³⁵ And in the morning, long before daylight, He got up and went out to a ^[c]deserted place, and there He prayed.

³⁶ And Simon [Peter] and those who were with him followed Him [^[d]pursuing Him eagerly and hunting Him out],

³⁷ And they found Him and said to Him, Everybody is looking for You.

³⁸ And He said to them, Let us be going on into the neighboring country towns, that I may preach there also; for that is why I came out.

³⁹ [So] He went throughout the whole of Galilee, preaching in their synagogues and driving out demons.

12 And the Lord said to Moses,

² Say to the Israelites, If a woman conceives and bears a male child, she shall be unclean seven days, unclean as during her monthly discomfort.

³ And on the eighth day the child shall be circumcised.

⁴ Then she shall remain [separated] thirty-three days to be purified [from her loss] of blood; she shall touch no hallowed thing nor come into the [court of the] sanctuary until the days of her purifying are over.

⁵ But if the child she bears is a girl, then she shall be unclean two weeks, as in her periodic impurity, and she shall remain separated sixty-six days to be purified [from her loss] of blood.

⁶ When the days of her purifying are completed, whether for a son or for a daughter, she shall bring a lamb a year old for a burnt offering and a young pigeon or a turtledove for a sin offering to the door of the Tent of Meeting to the priest;

⁷ And he shall offer it before the Lord and make atonement for her, and she shall be cleansed from the flow of her blood. This is the law for her who has borne a male or a female child.

⁸ If she is unable to bring a lamb [for lack of means] then she shall bring two turtledoves or young pigeons, one for a burnt offering, the other for a sin offering; the priest shall make atonement for her, and she shall be clean.^(A)
