And immediately his fame spread abroad throughout all the region round about Galilee.
This verse belongs to the ministry at Capernaum in which Christ freed a man from demonic control. That deliverance was Christ breaking Satan's power and setting His captives free, a work that Satan and his forces opposed. His teaching and His command over demons caused His fame to spread immediately throughout the surrounding region of Galilee.
News of His power spread through the region around Galilee, and the healing of Peter's wife's mother with other works of mercy added to the reports and excitement about Him. The report spread widely through Galilee because His Sabbath work of healing was extensive, widespread, and beyond counting. Every Sabbath He was seen speaking words to comfort the sick and healing their disease without growing weary. His field of practice was the world, and His life is the pattern example to follow.
