Devotionals, Articles, and Bible Study Resources on Luke 4:37-44

37And the news about Jesus spread throughout the surrounding region.
38After Jesus had left the synagogue, He went to the home of Simon, whose mother-in-law was suffering from a high fever. So they appealed to Jesus on her behalf,
39and He stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her. And she got up at once and began to serve them.
40At sunset, all who were ill with various diseases were brought to Jesus, and laying His hands on each one, He healed them.
41Demons also came out of many people, shouting, “You are the Son of God!” But He rebuked the demons and would not allow them to speak, because they knew He was the Christ.
42At daybreak, Jesus went out to a solitary place, and the crowds were looking for Him. They came to Him and tried to keep Him from leaving.
43But Jesus told them, “I must preach the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns as well, because that is why I was sent.”
44And He continued to preach in the synagogues of Judea.
— Luke 4:37-44
