have we to do with you, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to

destroy us? I know who you are; the Holy one of God.»

Every one else was very much frightened; but Jesus looked

at the man and said to the evil spirit, “ Be quiet, and come out

of him.» The man fell to the floor where he tossed about for a

few minutes. When he stood again he was like other people.

The evil spirit had gone forever. He was insane no more.

Every person in the synagogue was filled with wonder, and

one began asking another: “ What does this mean? Where does

this nian get his power? For he commands even the unclean

spirits and they obey him.» And in all the country round about

in Galilee people talked of what had happened here.

After the service was over Jesus and his four friends went to

Peter’s house, for they were all to take dinner there. Peter’s

wife’s mother lived with him, and when Jesus reached the house

he found her very sick with a fever. He went right into the

room where she lay. Her skin was dry and hot, and she was in

great pain. The Saviour stood over her, took her hand in his,

and lifted her up. At once the fever left her, and she was well;

so well that she was able to get up and wait on the visitors.
