Luke 4:37-44 (Gospel)

37
And the report about Him went out into every place in the surrounding region.
38
Now He arose from the synagogue and entered Simon’s house. But Simon’s wife’s mother was sick with a high fever, and they made request of Him concerning her.
39
So He stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her. And immediately she arose and served them.
40
When the sun was setting, all those who had any that were sick with various diseases brought them to Him; and He laid His hands on every one of them and healed them.
41
And demons also came out of many, crying out and saying, “You are the Christ, the Son of God!” And He, rebuking them, did not allow them to speak, for they knew that He was the Christ.
42
Now when it was day, He departed and went into a deserted place. And the crowd sought Him and came to Him, and tried to keep Him from leaving them;
43
but He said to them, “I must preach the kingdom of God to the other cities also, because for this purpose I have been sent.”
44
And He was preaching in the synagogues of Galilee.
