14 And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother laid, and sick of a fever. 15 And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered unto them.

29 And forthwith, when they were come out of the synagogue, they entered into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. 30 But Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a fever, and anon they tell him of her. 31 And he came and took her by the hand, and lifted her up; and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered unto them.

38 And he arose out of the synagogue, and entered into Simon's house. And Simon's wife's mother was taken with a great fever; and they besought him for her. 39 And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her: and immediately she arose and ministered unto them.

• Jesus' Compassion: In each account, we see Jesus' immediate response to the need. His compassion is evident as He heals Peter's mother-in-law without delay. This reminds us that Jesus cares deeply about our struggles and pains.
• Jesus' Authority Over Illness: Jesus' ability to heal with a touch or a word demonstrates His divine authority over sickness and disease. It is a testament to His power and a reminder that nothing is too difficult for Him.
• The Response to Healing: After being healed, Peter's mother-in-law immediately began to serve. Her response teaches us that our gratitude for God's intervention in our lives should lead to a desire to serve Him and others.
• Intercession of Others: In Mark and Luke, it is mentioned that others informed Jesus of her condition or asked Him to help. This highlights the importance of interceding on behalf of others, bringing their needs before Jesus in prayer.
• Restoration to Wholeness: Jesus' healing was complete and immediate, allowing Peter's mother-in-law to return to her daily activities without delay. This signifies that when Jesus heals, He restores us fully, enabling us to live out our purpose.

21 And they went into Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath day he entered into the synagogue, and taught. 22 And they were astonished at his doctrine: for he taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes. 23 And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out, 24 Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God. 25 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. 26 And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a loud voice, he came out of him. 27 And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What thing is this? what new doctrine is this? for with authority commandeth he even the unclean spirits, and they do obey him.

31 And came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught them on the sabbath days. 32 And they were astonished at his doctrine: for his word was with power. 33 And in the synagogue there was a man, which had a spirit of an unclean devil, and cried out with a loud voice, 34 Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art; the Holy One of God. 35 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. And when the devil had thrown him in the midst, he came out of him, and hurt him not. 36 And they were all amazed, and spake among themselves, saying, What a word is this! for with authority and power he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they come out.

• Authority of Jesus: Jesus taught with authority that astonished the people. Unlike the scribes, He spoke with divine authority and power.
• Power over Evil: Jesus demonstrated His authority over evil by commanding the unclean spirit to come out of the man. The spirit obeyed Him, showing His dominion over all spiritual realms.
• Recognition by Spirits: The unclean spirit recognized Jesus as the "Holy One of God," acknowledging His divine nature and mission.
• Mission of Jesus: Jesus' mission is not only to teach but to actively confront and defeat the forces of evil. His actions demonstrate His commitment to bringing liberation and healing to those oppressed by evil.
• Astonishment of the People: The people were amazed at Jesus' teaching and actions, recognizing a new doctrine that carried true authority and power, unlike anything they had experienced before.

46 So Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum. 47 When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judaea into Galilee, he went unto him, and besought him that he would come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death. 48 Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe. 49 The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die. 50 Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. And the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken unto him, and he went his way. 51 And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told him, saying, Thy son liveth. 52 Then enquired he of them the hour when he began to amend. And they said unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him. 53 So the father knew that it was at the same hour, in the which Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth: and himself believed, and his whole house. 54 This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was come out of Judaea into Galilee.

• Faith Beyond Status: The nobleman’s story teaches us that no matter our status or position, we must approach Jesus with humility and faith.
• Belief Without Seeing: True faith often requires us to trust in Jesus’ word without needing immediate evidence or signs.
• Transformative Power: Jesus’ miracles are not just about physical healing but also about spiritual transformation and leading people to believe in Him.
