※ After the service, Jesus entered Peter's house.
One). Peter's mother-in-law was seriously ill.
①She was a very desperate person with “severe fever”.
②She was so weak that she could not even ask Jesus for help.
③She was so weak that she could not even get out of bed to ask for help when Jesus came.
④ When Jesus approached and rebuked the fever with the word, he got up and began to serve.
