Preacher: Joel Fair

Scripture: Mark 1:29–39

Jesus Heals V29-34

Preach the Word Commentary

Note the manner in which Jesus healed her. Luke says in the parallel account that he stood over her and rebuked the fever (Luke 4:39). (Matthew 8:15) says he touched her. Here in Mark we read that he took her by the hand. Thus, we have a composite picture of Christ standing close to her bed, taking her by the hand, rebuking the fever, and gently raising her up before Peter and his wide-eyed friends.
