Matthäus 8:15

15 Da griff er ihre Hand an, und das Fieber verließ sie. Und sie stand auf und diente ihnen.

Matthäus 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.

Matthäus 8:15 In-Context

13 Und Jesus sprach zu dem Hauptmann: Gehe hin; dir geschehe, wie du geglaubt hast. Und sein Knecht ward gesund zu derselben Stunde.

14 Und Jesus kam in des Petrus Haus und sah, daß seine Schwiegermutter lag und hatte das Fieber.

15 Da griff er ihre Hand an, und das Fieber verließ sie. Und sie stand auf und diente ihnen.

16 Am Abend aber brachten sie viele Besessene zu ihm; und er trieb die Geister aus mit Worten und machte allerlei Kranke gesund,

17 auf das erfüllt würde, was gesagt ist durch den Propheten Jesaja, der da spricht: "Er hat unsere Schwachheiten auf sich genommen, und unsere Seuchen hat er getragen."
