### [Read the passage.](https://biblia.com/bible/esv/Lk4.38-44)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
After teaching in the synogogue and healing the demoniac, Jesus goes to Simon's
|
|
||||||
house, probably to lodge there while He stays in Capernaum. However, Simon's
|
|
||||||
sick mother-in-law is there, and they (Simon and his wife?) ask Jesus to help
|
|
||||||
her. He does, in much the same way as the man in the synogogue, and she gets up
|
|
||||||
to serve. I won't ever forget how one of my college professors was so wrapped
|
|
||||||
up in her feminist worldview that she claimed that Jesus only healed her for
|
|
||||||
the servitude He received. Over and over in the Bible we see Jesus have
|
|
||||||
compassion on the sick and needy, so there's no reason to think He didn't have
|
|
||||||
compassion here too. Furthermore, my old professor probably never considered
|
|
||||||
that this woman was serving out of gratitude, and also serving guests in your
|
|
||||||
home is just good manners.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Word gets out that Jesus can heal the sick, so everyone who can brings their
|
|
||||||
sick loved ones to Him for a chance at getting better. Jesus heals the diseases
|
|
||||||
and also casts out demons who keep trying to expose His identity. He prevents
|
|
||||||
them from speaking too much about that.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
In the morning, Jesus departs, though the people of Capernaum try to get Him to
|
|
||||||
stay. But He says He must preach the good news of the kingdom of God to people
|
|
||||||
in other places, too.
