And he came and took her by the hand, and lifted her up; and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered unto them.
All Commentaries on Mark 1:31 Go To Mark 1
Theophylact of Ochrid
AD 1107
He retired then as the custom was on the sabbath-day about evening to eat in His disciples’ house. But she who ought to have ministered was prevented by a fever. Wherefore it goes on, “But Simon’s wife 'smother was lying sick of a fever.”.
By this it is signified, that God will heal a sick man, if he ministers to the Saints, through love to Christ.
But he has a fever who is angry, and in the unruliness of his anger stretches forth his hands to do hurt; but if reason restrains his hands, he will arise, and so serve reason.
