Jesus Heals Peter's Mother-In-Law

Jesus heals Peter's mother-in-law is a touching story that shows how  the Lord cares for the relatives of those who love Him. This story tells us that that we should pray for those that we care about so that Jesus can help, save and heal them.

The Lord had gone down to a city called Capernaum in Israel to live. He went to the synagogue where He taught the people and worked miracles. After doing so, He went to the house of Simon Peter, His disciple.

Now Simon’s mother-inlaw was suffering from a high fever, and they asked Jesus to help her. 

So He stood over her, commanded the fever, and it left her. 

Immediately she got up and began to serve them.

As the sun was setting, all those who had any relatives sick with various diseases brought them to Jesus. 

He placed His hands on every one of them and healed them.

Demons also came out of many, crying out, ‘You are the Son of God!’ But He rebuked them, and would not allow them to speak, because they knew that He was the Christ. 

The next morning Jesus departed and went to a deserted place.

Yet the crowds sought out Jesus in the deserted location. They came to Jesus and tried to keep Him from leaving them. 

But Jesus said to them, ‘I must proclaim the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns too, for that is what I was sent to do.’

LUKE 4: 38 - 43

38 Then He got up and left the synagogue, and entered Simon's home. Now Simon's mother-in-law was suffering from a high fever, and they asked Him to help her.

39 And standing over her, He rebuked the fever, and it left her; and she immediately got up and waited on them.

40 While the sun was setting, all those who had any who were sick with various diseases brought them to Him; and laying His hands on each one of them, He was healing them.

41 Demons also were coming out of many, shouting, ``You are the Son of God!" But rebuking them, He would not allow them to speak, because they knew Him to be the Christ.

42 When day came, Jesus left and went to a secluded place; and the crowds were searching for Him, and came to Him and tried to keep Him from going away from them.

43 But He said to them, ``I must preach the kingdom of God to the other cities also, for I was sent for this purpose."
