NARRATOR 1: Immediately after leaving the synagogue, Jesus went to the house of Simon and Andrew with James and John.
SIMON: Jesus, my mother-in-law is sick in bed with a fever.
NARRATOR 1: Jesus went to her, took her by the hand, and raised her up. The fever left her immediately, and she began to serve them.
NARRATOR 2: When the sun set that evening, people brought all who were sick or possessed by demons to Jesus. The whole city crowded at the door. Jesus healed people of various diseases and cast out demons. He did not allow the demons to speak because they knew him.
NARRATOR 3: Getting up while it was still dark the next morning, Jesus went out to a deserted place to pray. Simon and the others with him tracked Jesus down.
SIMON: Everyone is looking for you.
JESUS: Let’s go to the neighboring villages so that I can proclaim the good news there also. This is why I have come.
NARRATOR 3: Jesus continued to proclaim the good news in synagogues in all of Galilee and to cast out demons.
