Now Simon's wife's mother was ill, with a burning heat; and they gave him word of her:
And when Jesus had come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother in bed, very ill.
And when they came out of the Synagogue, they went into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
And he came and took her by the hand, lifting her up; and she became well, and took care of their needs.
And made strong prayers to him, saying, My little daughter is near to death: it is my prayer that you will come and put your hands on her, so that she may be made well, and have life.
So the sisters sent to him, saying, Lord, your dear friend is ill.
Have we no right to take about with us a Christian wife, like the rest of the Apostles, and the brothers of the Lord, and Cephas?
