“Et accedens elevavit eam, apprehensa manu ejus : et continuo dimisit eam febris, et ministrabat eis.”
“And he came and took her by the hand, and lifted her up; and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered unto them.”
“So He went to her, took her by the hand, and helped her up. The fever left her, and she began to serve them.”
“He came and took her by the hand, and raised her up. The fever left her, and she served them.”
“and he came and took her by the hand, and raised her up; and 2532, 2112 the fever left her, and she ministered unto them.”
Verses 29-39 Wherever Christ comes, he comes to do good. He cures, that we may minister to him, and to others who are his, and for his sake. Those kept from public ordinances by sickness or other real hinderances, may expect the Saviour's gracious presence; he will soothe their sorrows, and abate their pains. Observe how numerous the patients were. When others speed well with Christ, it should quicken us in seeking after him. Christ departed into a solitary place. Though he was in no danger of distraction, or of temptation to vain-glory, yet he retired. Those who have the most business in public, and of the best kind, must yet sometimes be alone with God.
