Healings at Capernaum

29 As(A) soon as they left the synagogue,(B) they went into Simon(C) and Andrew’s(D) house(E) with James(F) and John.(G) 30 Simon’s mother-in-law was lying in bed with a fever, and they told Him about her at once. 31 So He went to her, took her by the hand, and raised her up.(H) The fever(I) left her,[a] and she began to serve(J) them.(K)

32 When(L) evening came, after the sun had set, they began bringing to Him all those who were sick(M) and those who were demon-possessed.(N) 33 The whole town was assembled at the door, 34 and He healed(O) many who were sick with various diseases(P) and drove out(Q) many demons.(R) But He would not permit the demons to speak, because they knew Him.(S)

In Praise of John the Baptist

18 Then John’s disciples told him about all these things.(A) So John summoned two of his disciples 19 and sent them to the Lord, asking, “Are You the One(B) who is to come, or should we look for someone else?”

20 When the men reached Him, they said, “John the Baptist sent us to ask You, ‘Are You the One who is to come, or should we look for someone else?’”

21 At that time Jesus healed many people of diseases,(C) plagues, and evil spirits,(D) and He granted sight to many blind people.(E) 22 He replied to them, “Go and report to John the things you have seen and heard: The blind receive their sight, the lame walk, those with skin diseases are healed,[a] the deaf hear,(F) the dead are raised, and the poor are told the good news.(G) 23 And anyone who is not offended because of Me is blessed.”

The Fourth Sign: Feeding 5,000

After(A) this, Jesus crossed the Sea of Galilee(B) (or Tiberias(C)). And a huge crowd was following Him because they saw the signs that He was performing by healing the sick. So Jesus went up a mountain and sat down there with His disciples.

Now the Passover, a Jewish festival, was near. Therefore, when Jesus looked up and noticed a huge crowd coming toward Him,(D) He asked Philip,(E) “Where will we buy bread so these people can eat?” He asked this to test him,(F) for He Himself knew what He was going to do.

Philip answered, “Two hundred denarii(G) worth of bread wouldn’t be enough for each of them to have a little.”

One of His disciples, Andrew,(H) Simon(I) Peter’s(J) brother, said to Him, “There’s a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish—but what are they for so many?”

10 Then Jesus said, “Have the people sit down.”

There was plenty of grass in that place, so they sat down. The men numbered about 5,000.(K) 11 Then Jesus took the loaves, and after giving thanks He distributed them to those who were seated—so also with the fish, as much as they wanted.(L)

12 When they were full, He told His disciples, “Collect the leftovers so that nothing is wasted.”(M) 13 So they collected them and filled 12 baskets with the pieces from the five barley loaves that were left over by those who had eaten.

14 When the people saw the sign[a] He had done, they said, “This really is the Prophet(N) who was to come(O) into the world!”(P)
