“Go away from me, because I’m a sinful man, Lord!” said Peter, amazed at the great catch of fish he received as a result of the suggestion of Jesus. “Don’t be afraid! From now on you will be catching people,” Jesus said. With this Simon Peter and his brother, Andrew, along with their partners, James and John, left everything and followed Him.
Then they went into Capernaum to a temple on the Sabbath, where Jesus began to teach. “Have you come to destroy us?” interrupted a man possessed by demons. “Be quiet and come out of him!” Jesus said. And throwing the man down, in front of all the people, the demon came out. Amazement came over them all; and news about Jesus spread throughout the vicinity.
“Would you like to come to our house and meet my family?” Peter asked. Jesus and His four followers went to Peter’s house. When they entered the house, Jesus saw that Peter’s mother-in-law was in bed with a high fever. Jesus touched her hand and immediately the fever was gone. [Bible: Luke 4:31-41]
