25 "Be quiet!" said Jesus firmly. "Come out of him!"
26 The evil spirit shook the man wildly. Then it came out of him with a scream.
27 All the people were amazed. So they asked each other, "What is this? A new teaching! And with so much authority! He even gives orders to evil spirits, and they obey him."
28 News about Jesus spread quickly all over Galilee.
29 Jesus and those with him left the synagogue. Right away they went with James and John to the home of Simon and Andrew.
30 Simon's mother-in-law was lying in bed. She had a fever. They told Jesus about her.
31 So he went to her. He took her hand and helped her up. The fever left her. Then she began to serve them.
