Charles Spurgeon Commentary Mark 1:28-30

"And the report of him went out straightway everywhere into all the region of Galilee round about. And straightway, when they were come out of the synagogue, they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. Now Simon`s wife`s mother lay sick of a fever; and straightway they tell him of her:" — Mark 1:28-30 (ASV)
