One day, Jesus was in the house of Simon Peter. Peter’s mother-in-law was sick in bed with a fever. When Jesus heard about her condition, He went to her. He took her by the hand and helped her up. Immediately, the fever left her. She was so full of energy that she began to serve Jesus and the others in the house. This miracle showed that Jesus had power over sickness and that He cared about the needs of ordinary people.
