And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered unto them.
Ver. 15. And he touched her hand] A speedy and easy cure of the fever, such as Hippocrates or Galen had never the skill of. They do it not but by many evacuations, long diet, &c.; besides that, much gold must be lavished out of the bag as it is, Isaiah 46:6, the poor patient crying often out, αι, αι, whence Aeger, as some think (Becman). Christ, by his word and touch only, doth the deed in an instant. As he can blow us to destruction, Job 4:9, nod us to destruction, Psalms 80:16; so, when Heman thinks himself "free among the dead," free of that company, and the "mourners begin to go about the streets," he can speak life unto us, and keep us that we go not down to the pit,Psalms 88:5; Ecclesiastes 12:5; Psalms 30:3 .
She arose, and ministered unto them] Thereby to evince the truth of the miracle, and to evidence the truth of her thankfulness.
