Matthew 8:14

JesusMother of the Wife of SimonSimonWife of Simon
Sickness and healing

12 But the sons of the kingdom will be thrown into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”

13 Then Jesus said to the centurion, “Go! As you have believed, so will it be done for you.” And his servant was healed at that very hour.

When Jesus arrived at Peter’s house, He saw Peter’s mother-in-law sick in bed with a fever.

15 So He touched her hand, and the fever left her, and she got up and began to serve them.

16 When evening came, many who were demon-possessed were brought to Jesus, and He drove out the spirits with a word and healed all the sick.
