Crowds Healed

29 (A)And immediately after they left (B)the synagogue, they entered the house of Simon and Andrew, with [a]James and John. 30 Now Simon’s mother-in-law was lying sick with a fever; and they immediately *spoke to [b]Jesus about her. 31 And He came to her and raised her up, taking her by the hand, and the fever left her, and she served them.

32 Now (C)when evening came, (D)after the sun had set, they began bringing to Him all who were ill and those who were (E)demon-possessed. 33 And the whole (F)city had gathered at the door. 34 And He (G)healed many who were ill with various diseases, and cast out many demons; and He would not permit the demons to speak, because they knew [c]who He was.

35 (H)And in the early morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house, and went away to a secluded place, and (I)prayed there for a time. 36 Simon and his companions eagerly searched for Him; 37 and they found Him and *said to Him, “Everyone is looking for You.” 38 He *said to them, “Let’s go somewhere else to the towns nearby, so that I may also [d]preach there; for this is why I came.” 39 (J)And He went into their synagogues [e]preaching throughout Galilee, and casting out the demons.

40 (K)And a man with [f]leprosy *came to [g]Jesus, imploring Him and (L)kneeling down, and saying to Him, “If You are willing, You can make me clean.” 41 Moved with compassion, Jesus reached out with His hand and touched him, and *said to him, “I am willing; be cleansed.” 42 And immediately the leprosy left him, and he was cleansed. 43 And He sternly warned him and immediately sent him away, 44 and He *said to him, (M)See that you say nothing to anyone; but (N)go, show yourself to the priest and (O)offer for your cleansing what Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.” 45 But he went out and began to (P)proclaim it [h]freely and to (Q)spread the news around, to such an extent that [i]Jesus could no longer publicly enter a city, but [j]stayed out in unpopulated areas; and (R)they were coming to Him from everywhere.
