Mark
1:29-39
As soon as they left the synagogue, they
entered the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. Now
Simon’s mother-in-law was in bed with a fever, and they told him about her at once.
He came and took her by the hand and lifted her up. Then the
fever left her, and she began to serve them.
That evening, at sunset, they brought to him all who were
sick or possessed with demons. And the whole city was gathered around the
door. And he cured 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.
In the morning, while it was still very dark, he got up
and went out to a deserted place, and there he prayed. And
Simon and his companions hunted for him. When they found him,
they said to him, ‘Everyone is searching for you.’ He
answered, ‘Let us go on to the neighboring towns, so that I may proclaim the
message there also; for that is what I came out to do.’ And
he went throughout
