Mark 1:29-39

29 After they left the synagogue, they went directly to the house of Simon and Andrew. James and John went with them.
30 Simon's mother-in-law was in bed with a fever. The first thing they did was to tell Jesus about her.
31 Jesus went to her, took her hand, and helped her get up. The fever went away, and she prepared a meal for them.
32 In the evening, when the sun had set, people brought to him everyone who was sick and those possessed by demons.
33 The whole city had gathered at his door.
34 He cured many who were sick with various diseases and forced many demons out of people. However, he would not allow the demons to speak. After all, they knew who he was.
35 In the morning, long before sunrise, Jesus went to a place where he could be alone to pray.
36 Simon and his friends searched for him.
37 When they found him, they told him, "Everyone is looking for you."
38 Jesus said to them, "Let's go somewhere else, to the small towns that are nearby. I have to spread [the Good News] in them also. This is why I have come."
39 So he went to spread [the Good News] in the synagogues all over Galilee, and he forced demons out of people.
