| Part of James Tissot's "Man with an Unclean Spirit" |
Jesus comes into the synagogue at Capernaum and a man "in" an unclean spirit cries out "What have you do to with us?" Jesus censored the spirit demanding that it come out of the man, and his fame spread.

HEALING PETER'S MOTHER-IN-LAW AND MANY OTHERS. (At Capernaum.)
MATT. 8:14-17
MARK 1:29-34
LUKE 4:38-41
Leaving the synagogue, Jesus comes to Simon Peter and Andrew's home in Capernaum. Simon's mother-in-law is in bed with a great fever. Jesus touches her hand and rebukes the fever to leave. She recovers fully instantaneously.
From Fourfold Gospel: 15 And he touched her hand, b and took her by the hand, and raised her up [thus showing the miracle came from him, and that he felt a tender interest in the sufferer]; c and it { b the fever} c left her: and immediately she rose up { a arose,} b and she ministered unto them. {a him.} [Her complete recovery emphasized the miracle. Such fevers invariably leave the patient weak, [170] and the period of convalescence is long and trying, and often full of danger. She showed her gratitude by her ministry.]
A great many persons are always sighing for opportunities to minister to Christ, imagining some fine and splendid service which they would like to render. Meantime they let slip past their hands the very things in which Christ wants them to serve Him. True ministry to Christ is doing first of all and well one's daily duties. -Believer's Bible
After this, many in the city brought people with all types of diseases and demons in them. Jesus cast out the demons and healed all. He laid hands on them. The demons recognized him as the Son of God; Christ rebuked them and didn't allow them to speak.
