The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 1:29-34

The progress of health. I. It IS IDENTICAL WITH THE PROGRESS OF CHRISTIANITY . For Christianity is the embodiment of the wisdom of the physician, the power of the Creator, the compassion of the God. These wonders are really revelations of law. Were the will of God the only factor in the case, we could hardly imagine how suffering could be. But there is our will also. The truth, so far as we may conjecture, seems to be that in the nature of things evil cannot be as a rule... read more

Parallel passages: Matthew 8:14-17 ; Luke 4:38-41 .— The cure of Peter's wife's mother and others. I. FEVER OF A VIRULENT TYPE . That St. Peter was a married man appears not only from this mention of his mother-in-law, but also from the reference of St. Paul ( 1 Corinthians 9:5 ), "Have we not power to lead about a sister, a wife, as well as other apostles, and as the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas?" But, near and dear as Peter was to She Saviour, he was not exempted from... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 1:30-31

Lay sick of a fever ( κατέκειτο πυρέσσουσα ) . St. Luke ( Luke 4:38 ) uses a stronger expression, "was holden with a great fever" ( συνεχομένη πυρετῷ μεγάλῳ ). There were marshes in that district; hence the prevalence of fevers of a malignant character. There is no mention of the wife of Peter by name in the New Testament. We may infer, from the fact that his wish's mother lived with him, that he was the head of the family. St. Paul ( 1 Corinthians 9:5 ) intimates that he... read more

Mark 1:29-34. They entered into the house of Simon That is, of Peter. See the notes on Matthew 8:14-17. And all the city was gathered together at the door Namely, of the house in which Jesus was; some coming as humble petitioners for themselves or their friends, others as spectators of the surprising miracles which he wrought, and some probably to hear and be instructed by his discourses. O what a fair prospect was here! Who could then have imagined that all these blossoms would die away... read more

29. Many sick people healed (Matthew 4:23-25; Matthew 8:14-17; Mark 1:29-39; Luke 4:38-44)Further examples of the ministry of Jesus show the presence and power of the kingdom of God in healing those afflicted by Satan (Matthew 4:23-25; Mark 1:29-34). (For the significance of the kingdom of God see earlier section, ‘Jesus and the Kingdom’.) On one occasion when Jesus was staying in Capernaum, he went outside the town to find a quiet place to pray to his Father. Peter thought he was losing... read more

And straightway, when they were come out of the synagogue, they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. Now Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a fever; and straightway they tell him of her: and he came and took her by the hand, and raised her up; and the fever left her, and she ministered unto them.THE HEALING OF PETER'S MOTHER-IN-LAWSimon's wife's mother ... points up the fact that Peter was a married man, a fact further corroborated by Paul's mention of Peter's wife in 1... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Mark 1:29

Mark 1:29. They entered into the house of Simon— Peter was a native of Bethsaida; and when first admitted to Christ's acquaintance, seems to have had his residence there: but happening to marry a woman of Capernaum, as is generally supposed, he removed thither with his brother Andrew; and there they prosecuted their common business of fishing, in company with James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who lived with them in one house. On the cure of St. Peter's wife's mother we shall speak, when we... read more
