Charles Spurgeon Commentary Matthew 8:15

"And he touched her hand, and the fever left her; and she arose, and ministered unto him." — Matthew 8:15 (ASV)

Our Lord was implored by her friends and therefore took her hand, and by a touch recovered her. The first miracle in this chapter was by a touch, the second by a word, and now this by a touch again. It is all the same to Jesus. The cure was instantaneous. It was a very complete cure.

We expect to read that the fever left her very weak, but our Lord’s cures are always perfect ones. She felt active enough to rise, energetic enough to work, and we need hardly add, grateful enough to serve her Physician and all His friends. No proof of recovery from the fever of sin is more sure than the holy earnestness of the healed ones to do works fitting for thankfulness towards Him who has restored them.
