Matthew 8:14 and 15

When Jesus went into Peter's house he saw his wife’s mother in a fever. Then Jesus touched the woman’s hand and censured (reprimanded, rebuked) the fever. The fever went away from the woman and she got up from where she was lying. Then she spent time serving to benefit Jesus, taking care of him as to what he needed at that time. What is the sequence of events in this instance? 1. Jesus’ learning-disciples (students) told him about Peter’s mother-in-law 2. Jesus saw Peter’s mother-in-law in a fever and touched her hand 3. Jesus censured the fever and the fever left her 4. The woman was raised up from where she was lying and ministered to Jesus Who believes? Who prays/speaks? Who heals? Who gets healed? 1. Jesus believed God’s words to him 2. Jesus did not pray or speak words of healing directly to Peter’s mother-in-law but instead he touched her hand and censured the fever 3. Jesus healed the woman References: Mark 1:29-31; Luke 4:38-39.
