Mateo 8:15

15 Y tocó su mano, y la fiebre la dejó: y ella se levantó, y les servía.

Mateo 8:15 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 8:15

And he touched her hand
Sometimes he healed by a word, as the centurion's 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.

Mateo 8:15 In-Context

13 Entonces Jesús dijo al centurión: Ve, y como creiste te sea hecho. Y su mozo fué sano en el mismo momento.

14 Y vino Jesús á casa de Pedro, y vió á su suegra echada en cama, y con fiebre.

15 Y tocó su mano, y la fiebre la dejó: y ella se levantó, y les servía.

16 Y como fué ya tarde, trajeron á él muchos endemoniados: y echó los demonios con la palabra, y sanó á todos los enfermos;

17 Para que se cumpliese lo que fué dicho por el profeta Isaías, que dijo: El mismo tomó nuestras enfermedades, y llevó nuestras dolencias.
