rits, and they come out. (37)And the fame of him went forth
into all the adjacent region.

(38)Then rising up out of the synagogue, he came into the house of
Simon: and Simon's mother-in-law was seized with a violent fever, and
they besought him on her behalf. (39)And standing over her, he charged
the fever _to depart_; and it left her: and immediately she arose, and
waited upon them.

(40)So when the sun was set, all who had any indisposed with various
diseases, brought them to him; and laying his hands severally on each
of them, he cured them. (41)And devils also went out of many, crying
out, and saying, Thou art the Messiah the Son of God. And rebuking
them, he suffered them not to speak: for they knew that he was the
Messiah.

(42)And as the day was coming on, he went forth and departed into a
desert place: and the multitude sought him out, and came to him, and
would have detained him that he should not leave them. (43)But he said
unto them, I must preach the glad tidings of the kingdom of heaven in
other cities also: for on this service am I sent. (44)And he continued
preaching in the synagogues of Galilee.

(5)And Simon answering, said unto him, Sir, we have been toiling all
night, and have taken nothing: but at thy command I will shoot the net.
(6)And having done so, they inclosed a prodigious multitude of fishes;
and their net was broken. (7)And they made signals to their partners in
the other vessels, that they should come to their assistance. And they
came, and filled both the vessels, so that they were ready to founder.
(8)Then Simon Peter seeing it, fell down on his knees before Jesus,
saying, Go from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord! (9)For amazement had
seized on him, and on all who were with him, at the draught of fishes
which they had taken: (10)as also on James and John the sons of
Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, Fear
