Mark 1:31
29 As soon as Jesus and His companions had left the synagogue, they went with James and John to the home of Simon and Andrew.
30 Simon’s mother-in-law was sick in bed with a fever, and they promptly told Jesus about her.
So He went to her, took her by the hand, and helped her up. The fever left her, and she began to serve them.
32 That evening, after sunset, people brought to Jesus all who were sick and demon-possessed,
33 and the whole town gathered at the door.
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
