And when Jesus came into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother lying sick of a fever.

Into Peter's house. That is, which had been Peter's house; for now he had quitted house, and all things to follow Christ. (Witham)
According to St. Mark, (i. 29,) and St. Luke, (iv. 38,) the cure of Peter's mother-in-law seems to have been performed previously to the sermon on the mount, of which St. Luke makes mention in chap. vi. We may suppose that St. Matthew mentions it in this order, on occasion of the miracle performed in the same place on the centurion's servant. (Bible de Vence)
