Luke 4:38–44
After leaving the synagogue Jesus entered
Simon's house. Now Simon's mother-in-law was suffering from a high fever, and
they asked him about her. Then he stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it
left her. Immediately she got up and began to serve them. As the sun was setting,
all those who had any who were sick with various kinds of diseases brought them
to him; and he laid his hands on each of them and cured them. Demons also came
out of many, shouting, "You are the Son of God!" But he rebuked them
and would not allow them to speak, because they knew that he was the Messiah.
At daybreak he departed and went into a
deserted place. And the crowds were looking for him; and when they reached him,
they wanted to prevent him from leaving them. But he said to them, "I must
proclaim the good news of the kingdom of God to the other cities also; for I was
sent for this purpose."
Reflection
To whom can a family go in their troubles?
How I will take my troubles to the Lord in
prayer?
