Jesus then retired from the synagogue while the people were still spell-bound with wonder and admiration. This miracle was then followed by another quite as wonderful. Jesus sought the house of Peter for a little rest; but there was no rest for the Son of Man. He was told that the mother of Peter’s wife was sick with a fever. His sympathetic heart was at once called out to relieve the suffering woman. He rebuked the disease, and it was at once removed from her. She rose from the bed, filled with joy and gratitude, and ministered with willing hands to the wants of the Master and his disciples. {2SP 180.3}

Jesus gik derefter bort fra synagogen, medens folket endnu var overvældet af forbavselse og forundring. Straks efter dette mirakel fulgte et (181) andet, som var ikke mindre underfuldt. Jesu gik til Peters hus for at hvile sig lidt; men der var ingen hvile for menneskenes søn. Man fortalte ham, at Peters hustrus moder var syg af feber. Hans medlidende hjerte ønskede straks at hjælpe den syge kvinde. Han tog fat på hendes hånd og rejste hende op, og feberen forlod hende straks. Hun stod op af sengen, fyldt med glæde og taknemmelighed og tjente beredvillig Mesteren og hans disciple.
