Christian Standard Bible

Healings at Capernaum

²⁹ As^(A) soon as they left the synagogue,^(B) they went into Simon^(C) and Andrew’s^(D) house^(E) with James^(F) and John.^{(G) 30} Simon’s mother-in-law was lying in bed with a fever, and they told him about her at once. ³¹ So he went to her, took her by the hand, and raised her up.^(H) The fever^(I) left her,^[a] and she began to serve^(J) them.^(K)

³² When^(L) evening came, after the sun had set, they brought to him all those who were sick^(M) and demon-possessed.^{(N) 33} The whole town was assembled at the door, ³⁴ and he healed^(O) many who were sick with various diseases^(P) and drove out^(Q) many demons.^(R) And he would not permit the demons to speak, because they knew him.^(S)

Preaching in Galilee

³⁵ Very^(T) early in the morning, while it was still dark, he got up, went out, and made his way to a deserted place;^(U) and there he was praying.^{(V) 36} Simon^(W) and his companions searched for him, ³⁷ and when they found him they said, “Everyone is looking for you.”

³⁸ And he said to them, “Let’s go on to the neighboring villages so that I may preach^(X) there too. This is why I have come.”

A Man Cleansed

³⁹ He went into all of Galilee,^(Y) preaching in their synagogues^(Z) and driving out demons. ⁴⁰ Then^(AA) a man with leprosy^[b](AB) came to him and, on his knees,^[c](AC) begged him, “If you are willing, you can make me clean.”^{(AD) 41} Moved with compassion,^[d](AE) Jesus reached out his hand and touched^(AF) him. “I am willing,” he told him. “Be made clean.” ⁴² Immediately the leprosy^(AG) left him, and he was made clean. ⁴³ Then he sternly warned^(AH) him and sent him away^(AI) at once, ⁴⁴ telling him, “See that you say nothing to anyone;^(AJ) but go and show^(AK) yourself to the priest,^(AL) and offer^(AM) what Moses commanded for your cleansing,^(AN) as a testimony^(AO) to them.”^{[e] 45} Yet he went out and began to proclaim^(AP) it widely and to spread the news,^(AQ) with the result that Jesus could no longer enter a town openly. But he was out in deserted places, and they came to him from everywhere.
