¹⁴耶稣 到了 彼得 家 里 ，见 彼得的岳母 害热病 躺着 。

¹⁴ ¶ And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother laid, and sick of a fever.

¹⁴ Verse 14. Peter's house] That Peter lived at Capernaum, and

that Christ lodged with him, is fully evident from this verse

compared with Mt 17:24.



Peter's-wife's mother] Learn hence, says Theophylact, that

marriage is no hinderance to virtue, since the chief of the

apostles had his wife. Marriage is one of the first of Divine

institutions, and is a positive command of God. He says, the

state of celibacy is not GOOD, Ge 2:18. Those who pretend to say

that the single state is more holy than the other slander their

Maker, and say in effect, "We are too holy to keep the

commandments of God."
