Charles Ellicott Commentary Luke 4:38-39

"And he rose up from the synagogue, and entered into the house of Simon. And Simon`s wife`s mother was holden with a great fever; and they besought him for her. And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her: and immediately she rose up and ministered unto them." — Luke 4:38-39 (ASV)

And he arose out of the synagogue. (See notes on Matthew 8:14.) Peculiar to St. Luke and indicating what we may venture to call accurate diagnosis, are the great fever, our Lord’s rebuking the fever, and the immediate rising to minister.
