Jesus went to Peter's home, and there he saw Peter's mother-in-law sick in bed with a fever.

He touched her hand; the fever left her, and she got up and began to wait on him.

Jesus and his disciples, including James and John, left the synagogue and went straight to the home of Simon and Andrew.

He went to her, took her by the hand, and helped her up. The fever left her, and she began to wait on them.

Don't I have the right to follow the example of the other apostles and the Lord's brothers and Peter, by taking a Christian wife with me on my trips?

When the officer heard about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders to ask him to come and heal his servant.

They came to Jesus and begged him earnestly, "This man really deserves your help.

But Jesus did not say a word to her. His disciples came to him and begged him, "Send her away! She is following us and making all this noise!"

The sisters sent Jesus a message: "Lord, your dear friend is sick."

But I know that even now God will give you whatever you ask him for."

Are any among you sick? They should send for the church elders, who will pray for them and rub olive oil on them in the name of the Lord.

This prayer made in faith will heal the sick; the Lord will restore them to health, and the sins they have committed will be forgiven.
