Are You Prayed Up?

Mark 1:29-39

Crowds Healed

   29And immediately after they came out of the synagogue, they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.

   30Now Simon's mother-in-law was lying sick with a fever; and immediately they spoke to Jesus about her.

   31And He came to her and raised her up, taking her by the hand, and the fever left her, and she waited on them.

   32When evening came, after the sun had set, they began bringing to Him all who were ill and those who were demon-possessed.

   33And the whole city had gathered at the door.

   34And He healed many who were ill with various diseases, and cast out many demons; and He was not permitting the demons to speak, because they knew who He was.

   35In the early morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house, and went away to a secluded place, and was praying there.

   36Simon and his companions searched for Him;

   37they found Him, and said to Him, "Everyone is looking for You."

   38He said to them, "Let us go somewhere else to the towns nearby, so that I may preach there also; for that is what I came for."

   39And He went into their synagogues throughout all Galilee, preaching and casting out the demons.
