On leaving the Synagogue, Jesus went into Simon's house. Now Simon's mother-in-law was suffering from a severe attack of fever, and they asked Jesus to cure her. Bending over her, he rebuked the fever; the fever left her, and she immediately got up and began to wait upon them.

When Jesus went into Peter's house, he saw Peter's mother-in- law prostrated with fever. On his taking her hand, the fever left her, and she rose and began to wait upon him.

Now Simon's mother-in-law was lying ill with fever, and they at once told Jesus about her. Jesus went up to her and, grasping her hand, raised her up; the fever left her, and she began to wait upon them.
