SEV Biblia, Chapter 8:15
Y toc su mano, y la fiebre la dej; y ella se levant, y les servía.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Matthew 8:15
Verse 15. He touched her hand] Can any thing on this side the unlimited power of God effect such a cure with only a touch? If the Scriptures had not spoken of the divinity of Christ, these proofs of his power must have demonstrated it to the common sense of every man whose creed had not previously blinded him. Ministered unto them.] autoiv, them, is the reading of most of the printed editions, but autw, to him, has the utmost evidence in its support from MSS., versions, and fathers. Serving Christ in his ordinances and in his members is the best proof we can give to others of our being soundly restored to spiritual health.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 15. And he touched her hand , etc.] Sometimes he healed by a word, as the centurions servant; and sometimes by a touch, as here; and sometimes by both, as the leper. Luke says, that he stood over her, reached over her to take her by the hand, and lift her up, and rebuked the fever. Just as he did the winds and sea, having all diseases, as well as the elements, at his beck and control; and the fever left her immediately, as the other evangelists say. And she arose and ministered unto them : the former of these actions is a proof of her being restored to health and strength, in so much that she could rise and walk about of herself; whereas generally, persons after fevers continue very weak a considerable time; which shows what a miracle was wrought upon her by Christ: and the latter of them expresses her gratitude, for the mercy she had received; she rises and serves him and his friends, preparing proper and suitable provisions for them.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 14-17 - Peter had a wife, yet was an apostle of Christ, who showed that he approved of the married state, by being thus kind to Peter's wife' relations. The church of Rome, which forbids ministers to marry, goe contrary to that apostle upon whom they rest so much. He had his wife' mother with him in his family, which is an example to be kind to ou relations. In spiritual healing, the Scripture speaks the word, the Spirit gives the touch, touches the heart, touches the hand. Those wh recover from fevers, commonly are weak and feeble some time after; but to show that this cure was above the power of nature, the woman was a once so well as to go about the business of the house. The miracle which Jesus did being noised abroad, many thronged to him. He heale all that were sick, though the patient was ever so mean, and the cas ever so bad. Many are the diseases and calamities to which we ar liable in the body; and there is more, in those words of the gospel that Jesus Christ bore our sicknesses and carried our sorrows, to support and comfort us under them, than in all the writings of the philosophers. Let us not grudge labour, trouble, or expense in doin good to others.
