1.5 Healing Time

That was this morning, this afternoon we went (with James and John) to the home of Simon and Andrew. Simon had told Jesus that his mother-in-law was in bed with a fever so he went to her, took her hand and she was better. The fever left her straight away and [get this :o) ] she then insisted we stayed to enjoy a hearty meal.

We needed it because no sooner had we finished our last mouthful, then people were knocking on the door asking Jesus to heal the sick and sort out the demon-possessed. It was like the whole town were on the doorstep.

Jesus healed loads of different diseases [some I hadn't heard of and can't even pronounce], he also cleared up the demon possessed telling the evil spirits not to say who he was.

[I couldn't understand this bit - why would it matter if they told people? "Truth will out", my Gran used to say...]
