Luke 4:38-44

English Standard Version

Jesus Heals Many

³⁸^(A)And he arose and left the synagogue and entered Simon's house. Now ^(B)Simon's mother-in-law was ill with a high fever, and they appealed to him on her behalf. ³⁹And he stood over her and ^(C)rebuked the fever, and it left her, and immediately she rose and began to serve them.

⁴⁰Now when the sun was setting, all those who had any who were sick with various diseases brought them to him, and ^(D)he laid his hands on every one of them and healed them. ⁴¹^(E)And demons also came out of many, ^(F)crying, “You are ^(G)the Son of God!” But he rebuked them and ^(H)would not allow them to speak, because they knew that he was ^(I)the Christ.

Jesus Preaches in Synagogues

⁴²^(J)And when it was day, he departed and went ^(K)into a desolate place. And ^(L)the people sought him and came to him, and would have kept him from leaving them, ⁴³but he said to them, ^(M)“I must ^(N)preach the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns as well; for I was sent for this purpose.” ⁴⁴And he was preaching ^(O)in the synagogues of Judea.^[a]
