Matteo 8:15

15 Ed egli le toccò la mano, e la febbre la lasciò; ed ella si levò, e ministrava loro.

Matteo 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.

Matteo 8:15 In-Context

13 E Gesù disse al centurione: Va’; e come hai creduto, siati fatto. Ed il suo famiglio fu guarito in quello stante.

14 POI Gesù, entrato nella casa di Pietro, vide la suocera di esso che giaceva in letto con la febbre.

15 Ed egli le toccò la mano, e la febbre la lasciò; ed ella si levò, e ministrava loro.

16 Ora, fattosi sera, gli furono presentati molti indemoniati; ed egli, con la parola, cacciò fuori gli spiriti, e sanò tutti i malati;

17 acciocchè si adempiesse ciò che fu detto dal profeta Isaia dicendo: Egli ha prese sopra di sè le nostre infermità, ed ha portate le nostre malattie.
