Mark 1:30 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 1:30

But Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a fever
"A great fever", Luke says, ( Luke 4:38 ) ; a very violent one, which threatened with death, and must be very dangerous to an old person; (See Gill on Matthew 8:14),

And anon they tell him or her;
for it seems, that not as soon as he came into the house, but some time after, when he had sat awhile, and rested himself after his fatigue in preaching; they acquainted him with her case, and beseeched him to look upon her, and restore her: this was done, either by Simon and Andrew, or by some others of their friends that were in the house; who having either seen, or heard of his dispossessing the unclean spirit, might rightly conclude he had power to remove a fever.

29 And so then he departed from the synagogue [and] came into the house of Simon and Andrew with James and John.

30 Now Simon's mother-in-law was lying down, suffering with a fever, and at once they told him about her.

31 And he came [and] raised her up [by] taking hold of her hand, and the fever left her, and she began to serve them.

32 Now [when it] was evening, when the sun had set, they began bringing to him all those {who were sick} and those who were demon-possessed.
