Matthew 8:14 And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother laid, and sick of a fever. How do you account for the prevalence of fevers at Capernaum? for it was there, of course, that "Peter's wife's mother laid, and sick of a fever." Fevers are still prevalent in this region, particularly in summer and autumn, owing to the extreme heat acting upon the marshy plains, like that of El Batihah,, at the influxof the Jordan. (W. M. Thomson, D. D.)
