This entry refers to Simon Peter's mother-in-law, the mother of Peter's wife, who appears in the Gospel healing narratives at Capernaum. Though unnamed, she is part of the intimate household setting in which Jesus' authority and compassion are displayed. First appears in Matt 8:14.1
AI summary: Simon's mother-in-law matters because the cross references place one of Jesus' early healings inside an ordinary home rather than a public spectacle. Her fever is removed immediately, and the scene becomes a model of restoration that leads straight into service. Taken together, the material presents this unnamed woman as a household witness to Jesus' healing power and to the way personal restoration feeds back into practical discipleship.1
