Luke 4:38-41 – More Miracles by Jesus
|| Matthew 8:14-17;[1] Mark 1:29-34, 35-39[2]
LK4:38 After leaving the synagogue Jesus entered into the house of Simon [Peter] whose mother-in-law was suffering with a great fever.[3] And so they all asked Jesus about her. LK4:39 Then standing over her, Jesus rebuked the fever and it left her instantly. And afterward she rose and began to wait on them all. LK4:40 Now at sunset everyone who had sick among them with a variety of illnesses brought them to Jesus. And he would lay his hands upon every one, curing them. LK4:41 Also, many demons were exorcised, screaming: “You are God’s Son!”[4] [Psalm 2:7] But, Jesus rebuked them and forbid them to speak because they realized he was the Christ. [Psalm 2:2; Daniel 9:25]
