Matthew 8:15

Matthew 8:15

John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible · John Gill (1697–1771) · Public Domain

And he touched her hand,.... Sometimes he healed by a word, as the centurion's servant; and sometimes by a touch, as here; and sometimes by both, as the leper. Luke says, that he "stood over her", reached over her to take her by the hand, and lift her up, "and rebuked the fever".

Just as he did the winds and sea, having all diseases, as well as the elements, at his beck and control;and the fever left her immediately, as the other evangelists say.
