Mark 1:16-34
16 Passing alongside the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and Andrew the brother of Simon casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen. 17 And Jesus said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you become fishers of men.”
18 And immediately they left their nets and followed Him. 19 And going on a little farther, He saw James the son of Zebedee and John His brother, who were in their boat mending the nets. 20 And immediately He called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants and followed Him.
21 And they went into Capernaum, and immediately on the Sabbath He entered the synagogue and was teaching.
And they were astonished at His teaching, for He taught them as one who had authority, and not as the scribes.
23 And immediately there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit. And he cried out, 24 “What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God.”
25 But Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be silent, and come out of him!” 26 And the unclean spirit, convulsing him and crying out with a loud voice, came out of him. 27 And they were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying, “What is this? A new teaching with authority! He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him.”
28 And at once His fame spread everywhere throughout all the surrounding region of Galilee.

29 And immediately He left the synagogue and entered the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. 30 Now Simon's mother-in-law lay ill with a fever, and immediately they told him about her.
31 And he came and took her by the hand and lifted her up, and the fever left her, and she began to serve them.
32 That evening at sundown they brought to him all who were sick or oppressed by demons. 33 And the whole city was gathered together at the door. 34 And he healed many who were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons. And he would not permit the demons to speak, because they knew Him.
Officially, this would be called the Jesus' miraculous healing of Peter's mother-in-law.
Yet, this would have a Jesus the Great Healer, medical school practice, today, in this entire portion of Scripture.
Jesus invites Simon and Andrew. They were there for John 1 and have seen the miracles of Jesus, Andrew has acknowledged Jesus as the Messiah, and have found miracles surrounding Jesus. Jesus invites Simon and Andrew.
James and John see the example of Simon and Andrew and follow Jesus Christ. As Messiah and Teacher.
The Temple lets Jesus teach, others have done this.
Miracles occur.
Privately, Jesus heals Peter's mother-in-law. Peter lets Jesus because he has seen several miracles and has experienced the Glory of God.
The whole town of Capernaum brings Jesus their sick to heal.
