SCRIPTURE COMMENTARY #132
And Jesus rising up out of the synagogue, went into Simon's house. And Simon's wife's mother was taken with a great fever: and they besought him for her. And standing over her, he commanded the fever: and it left her. And immediately rising, she ministered to them. And when the sun was down, all they that had any sick with divers diseases brought them to him. But he, laying his hands on every one of them, healed them. (Luke 4:38-40)
THE DIVINITY OF OUR LORD: The astounding miracles which Jesus wrought in the presence of so many people, are a proof of His Divine Omnipotence. He took the death-stricken mother-in-law of Peter by the hand, and immediately she got up well and strong. He laid His hand on the sick who were brought to Him in front of Peter's house, and at once they were cured. He drove the devils out of those whom they possessed, and imposed silence on them by His word. "What is this?" asked the awe-struck people; "that He commanded even the unclean spirits and they go out!" This was a proof that Jesus is Lord not only of the visible creation, but of the unseen world of spirits as well.
