Jesus left the synagogue
This phrase marks a transition in the narrative, indicating that Jesus is moving from a public place of worship to a more private setting. The synagogue was central to Jewish religious life, serving as a place for teaching, prayer, and community gathering. The Greek word for synagogue, "συναγωγή" (synagōgē), means "assembly" or "gathering." This setting underscores Jesus' role as a teacher and His authority in interpreting the Scriptures, as He often taught in synagogues. Historically, synagogues were established during the Babylonian exile when the Jewish people were separated from the Temple, highlighting the adaptability and resilience of Jewish worship practices.

and went to the home of Simon
This phrase introduces Simon Peter, one of Jesus' closest disciples, and indicates a shift from public ministry to personal interaction. The Greek word for "home" is "οἶκος" (oikos), which can mean house or household, suggesting not just a physical structure but also the family and community within. Simon's home becomes a place of intimate fellowship and miraculous healing, reflecting the early Christian emphasis on house churches as centers of worship and community. Archaeological findings in Capernaum suggest that Simon Peter's house was a significant site for early Christians, possibly serving as a meeting place for the first believers.

Simon's mother-in-law was sick with a high fever
This phrase highlights the personal and compassionate nature of Jesus' ministry. The mention of Simon's mother-in-law indicates that Simon was married, providing insight into the personal lives of the disciples. The Greek term for "high fever" is "πυρετῷ μεγάλῳ" (pyretō megalō), emphasizing the severity of her condition. In the ancient world, fevers were often life-threatening, and medical knowledge was limited. This context underscores the miraculous nature of Jesus' healing power and His concern for individual suffering, demonstrating His authority over physical ailments.

and they appealed to Jesus on her behalf
This phrase illustrates the faith and intercession of those around Simon's mother-in-law. The Greek word for "appealed" is "ἠρώτησαν" (ērōtēsan), which can also mean "asked" or "begged," indicating a sense of urgency and desperation. This act of intercession reflects the communal nature of faith in the early Christian community, where believers supported one another in prayer and sought Jesus' intervention in times of need. It also highlights the importance of bringing our concerns to Jesus, trusting in His compassion and power to heal and restore.

(38, 39) And he arose out of the synagogue.--. See Notes on Matthew 8:14 Peculiar to St. Luke and indicating what we may venture to call accurate diagnosis, are the "great fever," our Lord's "rebuking" the fever, and the "immediate" rising to minister.

Verse 38. - 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. This abrupt mention of Peter (Simon) for the first time, without any explanatory notice, tells us that when St. Luke wrote his Gospel Peter was well known and honored in all the Churches. The Lord's choice of one who was already married, the subsequent favor showed to him, the high position evidently accorded to him in the Church of the first days, is a perpetual protest against the exaggerated asceticism which later was so earnestly taught in ecclesiastical Christianity. The epithet "great," applied to the fever, was a well-known technical term; it was used by Galen of fevers. There are several expressions in this Gospel which remind us that the author was a trained physician.
