This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Mar_1:29 ff. See on Mat_8:14 f.
ἐξελθόντες ] Jesus, Peter and Andrew. James and John are thereupon specially named as accompanying.

[58] In this point of view the sickness is denoted by the words κατέκειτο πυρέσσ . as severe enough not to allow the event to be treated as a simple soothing of the over-excited nervous system (Schenkel). Mere psychological soothings of this kind would simply stand in utter disproportion to the sensation produced by Jesus as a worker of miracles.
