'Fever' in the Bible

After this Jesus went to the house of Peter, whose mother-in-law he found ill in bed with fever.

He touched her hand and the fever left her: and then she rose and waited upon Him.

Now Simon's mother-in-law was ill in bed with a fever, and without delay they informed Him about her.

So He went to her, and taking her hand He raised her to her feet: the fever left her, and she began to wait upon them.

Now when He rose and left the synagogue He went to Simon's house. Simon's mother-in-law was suffering from an acute attack of fever; and they consulted Him about her.

Then standing over her He rebuked the fever, and it left her; and she at once rose and waited on them.

So he inquired of them at what hour he had shown improvement. "Yesterday, about seven o'clock," they replied, "the fever left him."

It happened, however, that his father was lying ill of dysentery aggravated by attacks of fever; so Paul went to see him, and, after praying, laid his hands on him and cured him.

If, however, they cannot maintain self-control, by all means let them marry; for marriage is better than the fever of passion.
