rwp @Matthew:8:14 @{Lying sick of a fever } (\bibl ˆmen ˆn kai puressousan \). Two participles , bedridden (perfect passive of \ball “\) and burning with fever (present active ). How long the fever had had her we have no means of knowing , possibly a sudden and severe attack (Mark:1:30 |), as they tell Jesus about her on reaching the house of Peter . We are not told what kind of fever it was . Fever itself was considered a disease . "Fever " is from German feuer (fire ) like the Greek \pur \. rwp @Matthew:8:15 @{Touched her hand } (\h ˆpsato t ˆs cheiros aut ˆs \). In loving sympathy as the Great Physician and like any good doctor today .
