Jerome

Commentary on Matthew (420)

(Verse 14) And when Jesus came into Peter's house, he saw his mother-in-law lying down and feverish (or trembling): and he touched her hand, and the fever left her. The hand of the woman is touched, and with her healed works, the weakness of sins departs. It is the nature of human beings that after a fever, their bodies become more tired, and as health begins, they feel the afflictions of sickness.

Commentary on the Bible (1832)

Peter’s house - That Peter lived at Capernaum, and that Christ lodged with him, is fully evident from this verse compared with Mat 17:24. Peter’s - wife’s mother - Learn hence, says Theophylact, that marriage is no hinderance to virtue, since the chief of the apostles had his wife. Marriage is one of the first of Divine institutions, and is a positive command of God. He says, the state of celibacy is not Good, Gen 2:
