27. They were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, “What is this? What new teaching is this? With authority He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey Him.”
28. Immediately His fame spread everywhere throughout the region surrounding Galilee.
29. When He came out of the synagogue with James and John, they went directly to the house of Simon and Andrew.
30. The mother of Simon’s wife lay sick with a fever, and immediately they told Him of her.
31. So He came and took her by the hand and lifted her up, and immediately the fever left her. And she served them.
32. In the evening, when the sun had set, they brought to Him all who were sick and those who were possessed with demons.
33. The whole city was gathered at the door,
34. and He healed many who were sick with various diseases and cast out many demons. And He did not let the demons speak, because they knew Him.
35. In the morning, rising up a great while before sunrise, He went out and departed to a solitary place. And there He prayed.
36. Simon and those who were with Him followed Him,
37. and when they found Him, they said to Him, “Everyone is searching for You.”
38. He said to them, “Let us go into the nearby towns, that I may preach there also. For that is why I have come.”
