Matthew 8:14

Now ¹  when Jesus entered Peter’s house, he saw his mother-in-law lying down, ²  sick with a fever.

Mt 8:20; Mt 17:25; Mr 1:29-31; Lu 4:38,39; 1Co 9:5; 1Ti 3:2; 1Ti 4:3; Heb 13:4

¹ tn Grk “And.” Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” to indicate the transition to a new topic.

² tn Grk “having been thrown down.” The verb βεβλημένην (beblhmenhn) is a perfect passive participle of the verb βάλλω (ballw, “to throw”). This indicates the severity of her sickness.
