32. Healing Peter's Mother-In-Law

After Jesus had healed the demoniac, he left the synagogue and went into the house of Simon and Andrew.

James and John were with him.

Jesus found that Simon’s mother-in-law sick with a high fever. All the members of the household asked Jesus to heal her.

Jesus stood over her, rebuked the fever and touched her hand. She immediately got up and the fever left her.

Full of vigor, she began serving Jesus and his disciples.

News of where Jesus was staying spread quickly. As the sun set, people started bringing anyone sick or demon-possessed to Jesus. He healed them all.

This was a fulfillment of the prophecy in Isaiah that says, He himself took on our infirmities and he bore our diseases.

Soon, all the city's people gathered outside the house Jesus was staying.

Jesus healed those sick with many kinds of diseases and he cast out demons.

The demons came out of their victims, screaming and saying, You are the Son of God.
