Mark 1:29-31 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Mark 1:29-39

In these verses, we have, I. A particular account of one miracle that Christ wrought, in the cure of Peter's wife's mother, who was ill of a fever. This passage we had before, in Matthew. Observe, 1. When Christ had done that which spread his fame throughout all parts, he did not then sit still, as some think that they may lie in bed when their name is up. No, he continued to do good, for that was it he aimed at, and not his own honour. Nay, those who are in reputation, had need be busy and... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Mark 1:29-31

1:29-31 And immediately, when they had come out of the synagogue, they went, along with Peter and John, into the house of Simon and Andrew. Peter's mother-in-law was in bed with an attack of fever. Immediately they spoke to Jesus about her. He went up to her and took her by the hand and raised her up, and the fever left her, and she attended to their needs. In the synagogue Jesus had spoken and acted in the most amazing way. The synagogue service ended and Jesus went with his friends to... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 1:29

And forthwith, when they were come out of the synagogue ,.... Christ having wrought this miracle, and finished his sermon, and the whole synagogue service being over, when it was usual for every one to repair to their own houses, or their friends, for refreshment; he, and they that were with him, departed from it, and directly, being not far from it, they entered into the house of Simon and Andrew ; who being brethren, dwelt together in a house at Capernaum, where it seems they were now... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 1:30

But Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a fever ,.... "A great fever", Luke says, Luke 4:38 ; a very violent one, which threatened with death, and must be very dangerous to an old person; See Gill on Matthew 8:14 , And anon they tell him or her ; for it seems, that not as soon as he came into the house, but some time after, when he had sat awhile, and rested himself after his fatigue in preaching; they acquainted him with her case, and beseeched him to look upon her, and restore her:... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 1:31

And he came and took her by the hand ,.... He went into the room where she lay, and took hold of her hand; not to feel her pulse, and thereby judge of the nature and strength of her disorder, as physicians do; nor merely in a friendly manner, as is customary, but in order to restore her: and lift her up ; to sit upright in the bed, who before was laid along upon it, so weak as not to be able to turn herself, much less to sit erect by any assistance whatever: and immediately the fever... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 1:29

Verse 29 Mark 1:29.They came, with James and John, into the house of Simon and Andrew. There is reason to conjecture, that Matthew does not relate this history in its proper order: for Mark expressly states, that there were only four disciples who attended Christ. Besides, when he left the synagogue, he went straight to Peter’s house; which also shows clearly, that Matthew did not observe, with exactness, the order of time. The Evangelists appear to have taken particular notice of this miracle;... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 1:21-39

The illustrative example of Christ's work. No sooner is the great work begun than a strikingly illustrative example of its true character and beneficent power is presented. It was in Capernaum, which, so far from being "exalted unto heaven," would hear the curse, "Thou shalt go down unto Hades." And it was "the sabbath day;" therefore of a surety "he straightway … entered into the synagogue." Now, in his "Father's house," he is doing the great work he came to do, "to bear witness of the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 1:29

They came ; a better reading is, he came ( ἤλθεν ). St. Matthew and St. Luke speak of this house as the house of Simon Peter only; but St. Mark, writing probably under St. Peter's direction, includes Andrew as a joint owner with Simon Peter. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 1:29

The home and the synagogue. This passage, which gives an account of a sabbath spent in Capernaum, shows us the manner in which many unmentioned sabbaths were spent by our Lord and his disciples. Whithersoever Jesus went we should follow him, translating into modem habits the principles which underlay his actions. Consider— I. THE SYNAGOGUE WHICH JESUS ENTERED . Its worship, unlike that of the temple, was not specially ordained by the Mosaic code. It was the outcome of earlier... read more
