The Cure of Simon’s Mother-in-Law. 38 (A)After he left the synagogue, he entered the house of Simon.[a] Simon’s mother-in-law was afflicted with a severe fever, and they interceded with him about her. 39 He stood over her, rebuked the fever, and it left her.

- 4:38 The house of Simon: because of Luke’s arrangement of material, the reader has not yet been introduced to Simon (cf. Mk 1:16–18, 29–31). Situated as it is before the call of Simon (Lk 5:1–11), it helps the reader to understand Simon’s eagerness to do what Jesus says (Lk 5:5) and to follow him (Lk 5:11).
- 4:41 They knew that he was the Messiah: that is, the Christ (see note on Lk 2:11).
