When evening came, after the sun had set, they began bringing to Him all who were ill and those who were demon-possessed. And the whole city had gathered at the door. And He healed many who were ill with various diseases, and cast out many demons; and He was not permitting the demons to speak, because they knew who He was.
After casting out of the demon and healing a severely ill woman, Jesus’ ministry is different. Many crowds begin to follow him around, not to hear his teaching, but because he heals and casts out demons. People feel the spiritual oppression that they are under and are clamoring for the freedom that Jesus offers.
Popularity, like authority, is something that should be granted, not sought.
