Luke 4:38,39 - Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible

Bible Comments

Luke 4:38 f. Simon's Wife's Mother (Mark 1:29-31 *, Matthew 8:14 f.*). Lk. heightens the miracle. Jesus rebukes the fever as though it were an evil spirit, and does not touch the sufferer. Note how Simon is introduced without comment; Lk. is really following Mark 1:29.

Luke 4:38-39

38 And he arose out of the synagogue, and entered into Simon's house. And Simon's wife's mother was taken with a great fever; and they besought him for her.

39 And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her: and immediately she arose and ministered unto them.
