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 le dijo al oficial romano:
Y el joven siervo quedó sano en esa misma hora.

14 Jesús sana a mucha gente
Cuando Jesús llegó a la casa de Pedro, la suegra de Pedro estaba enferma en cama con mucha fiebre.

15 Jesús le tocó la mano, y la fiebre se fue. Entonces ella se levantó y le preparó una comida.

16 Aquella noche, le llevaron a Jesús muchos endemoniados. Él expulsó a los espíritus malignos con una simple orden y sanó a todos los enfermos.

17 Así se cumplió la palabra del Señor por medio del profeta Isaías, quien dijo:
«Se llevó nuestras enfermedades
y quitó nuestras dolencias»
