Simon’s mother-in-law was sick in bed with a fever, and the people told Jesus about her.
When Jesus went to Peter’s house, he saw that Peter’s mother-in-law was sick in bed with a fever.
As soon as Jesus and his followers left the synagogue, they went with James and John to the home of Simon and Andrew.
So Jesus went to her bed, took her hand, and helped her up. The fever left her, and she began serving them.
He begged Jesus, saying again and again, “My daughter is dying. Please come and put your hands on her so she will be healed and will live.”
So Mary and Martha sent someone to tell Jesus, “Lord, the one you love is sick.”
Do we not have the right to bring a believing wife with us when we travel as do the other apostles and the Lord’s brothers and Peter?
