²⁹ And when they came out of the Synagogue, they went into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.

³⁰ Now Simon's wife's mother was ill, with a burning heat; and they gave him word of her:

³¹ And he came and took her by the hand, lifting her up; and she became well, and took care of their needs.

³² And in the evening, at sundown, they took to him all who were diseased, and those who had evil spirits.

³³ And all the town had come together at the door.

³⁴ And a number, who were ill with different diseases, he made well, and sent out evil spirits; but he did not let the evil spirits say anything, because they had knowledge of him.

³⁸ And he got up and went out of the Synagogue and went into the house of Simon. And Simon's wife's mother was very ill with a burning heat; and in answer to their prayers for her

³⁹ He went near her, and with a sharp word he gave orders to the disease and it went away from her; and straight away she got up and took care of their needs.
