Lk 4, Verses 38–39English original
And he arose out of the synagogue, and entered into Simon’s house. And Simon’s wife’s mother was taken with a great fever: and they besought him for her. And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever: and it left her: and immediately she arose and ministered unto them.
(ut sup.) For since the disease was curable, He shewed His power by the manner of the cure, doing what art could never do. For after the allaying of the fever, the patient needs much time ere he be restored to his former health, but at this time all took place at once.
