Matthew 8:16

14 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.

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.

17 This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah: “He took on our infirmities and carried our diseases.”

18 When Jesus saw a large crowd around Him, He gave orders to cross to the other side of the sea.

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
