More Cures by Jesus
NARRATOR.
When evening had come, after sunset, they brought all who were suffering from various types of diseases and those possessed with
devils. In fact, the whole city was gathered together at the door. He laid his hands on every one of them and cured them. Devils also
came out of many people, crying out and saying: "You are the Christ, the Son of God." But he rebuked them and would not allow
them to speak because they knew that he was the Christ. He cast out the spirits with his word and cured all who were sick with various
diseases. This was to fulfill the words spoken by Isaiah the prophet when he said: 'He took our sicknesses away and carried our
diseases for us.'
Matthew 8:16, 17; Mark 1:32-34; Luke 4:40, 41

Jesus Leaves Capernum and Travels Through Galilee
NARRATOR.
In the morning, long before dawn, he got up, left the house and went off to a secluded place and prayed there. Simon and his
companions set out in search of him. When they found him they said:
SIMON.
Everyone is looking for you.
JESUS.
Let's go somewhere else, to the neighboring country towns, so that I can preach there also, because that is why I came.
NARRATOR.
The crowds went looking for him and when they caught up with him, they tried to prevent him from leaving them, but he answered:
JESUS.
I must proclaim the Good News of the Kingdom of God to the other towns also, because that is what I was sent to do.
NARRATOR.
He went throughout the whole territory of Galilee and Judaea; teaching and preaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the Good
News of the Kingdom, casting out devils and curing all manner of diseases and sicknesses among the people.
Matthew 4:23, Mark 1:35-39; Luke 4:42-44

NARRATOR.
When he returned to Capernaum some time later, the word went out that he was back. So many people gathered together that there
was no room left even in front of the door and he preached to them.
Now in the audience while he was teaching were Pharisees and doctors of the law who had come from every village in Galilee, Judaea
and Jerusalem. He was preaching the word to them when four men appeared carrying a paralyzed man on a bed. The men were trying
to bring the man in to lay down in front of him. When they could not find a way of getting him in to Jesus because of the crowd, they
went up on to the roof and stripped it over the place where Jesus was. When they had made an opening in the roof, they lowered the
man and his stretcher down through the tiles into the middle of the gathering in front of Jesus. Seeing their faith, Jesus said to the
paralytic:
JESUS.
Courage, my child. Your sins are forgiven you.
NARRATOR.
