After Jesus left the synagogue, he entered the house of Simon.
Simon’s mother-in-law was afflicted with a severe fever,
and they interceded with him about her.
He stood over her, rebuked the fever, and it left her.
She got up immediately and waited on them.
At sunset, all who had people sick with various diseases brought them to him.
He laid his hands on each of them and cured them.
And demons also came out from many, shouting, “You are the Son of God.”
But he rebuked them and did not allow them to speak
because they knew that he was the Christ.
At daybreak, Jesus left and went to a deserted place.
The crowds went looking for him, and when they came to him,
they tried to prevent him from leaving them.
But he said to them, “To the other towns also
I must proclaim the good news of the Kingdom of God,
because for this purpose I have been sent.”
And he was preaching in the synagogues of Judea.
After Jesus left the synagogue, he entered the house of Simon.
Simon’s mother-in-law was afflicted with a severe fever,
and they interceded with him about her.
He stood over her, rebuked the fever, and it left her.
She got up immediately and waited on them.
Summary
Rejected in Nazareth, Jesus descends to Capernaum where he is welcomed by the faith of those people, to the point that Capernaum is called “their city”.
This day in Capernaum was a full day for Jesus: leaving the synagogue, Jesus enters Simon’s house and heals his sick mother-in-law.
Then, at sunset, a multitude of sick people are healed by the laying on of their hands.
Thus captivated by His favors, the crowd will not let Him go; but God’s Sent must also go “to other cities”.

Evangelho (Lc 4,38-44)
Naquele tempo, 38Jesus saiu da sinagoga e entrou na casa de Simão. A sogra de Simão estava sofrendo com febre alta, e pediram a Jesus em favor dela. 39Inclinando-se sobre ela, Jesus ameaçou a febre, e a febre a deixou. Imediatamente, ela se levantou e começou a servi-los.
40Ao pôr do sol, todos os que tinham doentes atingidos por diversos males, os levaram a Jesus. Jesus punha as mãos em cada um deles e os curava. 41De muitas pessoas também saíam demônios, gritando: “Tu és o Filho de Deus”. Jesus os ameaçava, e não os deixava falar, porque sabiam que ele era o Messias.
42Ao raiar do dia, Jesus saiu e foi para um lugar deserto. As multidões o procuravam e, indo até ele, tentavam impedi-lo de as deixar. 43Mas Jesus disse: “Eu devo anunciar a Boa Nova do Reino de Deus também a outras cidades, porque para isso é que eu fui enviado”. 44E pregava nas sinagogas da Judeia.
