James and John. (30)But Simon's wife's mother
lay in a fever, and immediately they informed him of her. (31)And he
came and raised her up, and the fever left her immediately, and she
waited upon them.

unto him all that had illnesses, and the demoniacs. (33)And the whole
city was gathered together about the door; (34)and he healed many who
were grievously afflicted with a variety of diseases; and he cast out
many devils; and suffered not the devils to speak for they knew him.

(35)And very early (the night being far advanced towards morning)
rising up, he went forth, and retired into a desert place, and there

(4)and not being able to come nigh him because of the crowd, they
stripped off the roofing of the house where he was; and having broken a
