Context — The Healing of Simon's Mother-in-Lawgenerated
Luke 4:39 describes a moment when Jesus heals Simon Peter's mother-in-law, who was suffering from a high fever. After being approached by those concerned for her, Jesus stands over her and rebukes the fever, resulting in her immediate recovery. This miracle illustrates Jesus' power over sickness and His compassion for those in need, similar to other healing accounts throughout the Gospels, such as in Luke 4:38 and Luke 8:2.

The Key Word — ἐπετίμησεν, epitimaōgenerated
The verb ἐπιτιμάω (*epitimaō*) means to rebuke or admonish. It is used here in the aorist tense, indicating a single, completed action. This highlights Jesus' authoritative command over the fever, which is treated as a force that can be addressed directly.
This word appears frequently in contexts where Jesus rebukes evil spirits or storms, emphasizing His power and control over chaotic or harmful forces. The act of rebuking conveys a sense of urgency and decisiveness, as seen in similar passages like Luke 4:35.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
In the Berean Standard Bible, the phrase He rebuked captures the authoritative action of Jesus effectively. Other translations like the KJV and ASV also use rebuked, maintaining consistency in the depiction of Jesus' command over the fever.
However, the YLT and WEB use having stood over and stood over, respectively, which slightly shifts the focus from the action of rebuking to the position of Jesus. This variation illustrates different emphases on the narrative action.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The verse consists of several clauses organized around the main actions of Jesus. The finite verb ἐπετίμησεν governs the action of rebuking the fever, with a participial phrase ἐπιστὰς describing Jesus' action of standing over her.
The structure includes a main clause followed by a series of actions: the rebuke, the fever leaving, and the response of Simon's mother-in-law rising to serve. This arrangement emphasizes the immediacy and authority of Jesus' healing.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Greek word ἐφίστημι appears in the Septuagint, translated from the Hebrew נָצַב (to stand). This connection highlights the continuity of the theme of standing in the presence of authority, as seen in various Old Testament passages.
In this context, ἐπιτιμάω does not have a direct counterpart in the Septuagint but reflects a similar usage of commanding authority seen in other biblical texts.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated

The early church on this verse — how the Fathers read it
Early Church Fathers comment on this healing to illustrate Jesus' authority and compassion in His ministry.
Here Luke speaks figuratively, as of a command given to a sensible being, saying, that the fever was commanded, and neglected not the work of Him who commanded it. Hence it follows: And she arose, and ministered unto them.Early Church Fathers on Luke 4 →
And immediately she rose and served them. It is natural for those recovering from fever, as health begins, to feel faint and sense the discomfort of their illness, but the health granted by the Lord’s command returns fully at once.Early Church Fathers on Luke 4 →

The earliest translations — Latin and Syriac
Every translation is an argument about meaning made by someone who had to commit to one. These two were made while the Greek was still a living language, and they are the oldest opinions we have about what this verse says.
Et stans super illam imperavit febri : et dimisit illam. Et continuo surgens, ministrabat illis.
Jerome revised the Old Latin against the Greek from AD 382; the Latin west read this text for a thousand years.

καί (kai) is a conjunction meaning 'and,' used to connect words, phrases, and clauses. It serves various functions, including copulative and adjunctive uses, and can express cumulative ideas like 'also' or 'even.' The New Testament frequently employs it to link terms and sentences, as seen in verses like Matthew 2:18 and John 10:3. Abbott-Smith notes its use in both simple and complex structures, while Thayer emphasizes its role as the most common particle in the New Testament.

The Greek word ἐπάνω (*epanō*) means 'above' or 'on top of' and can function as both an adverb and a preposition. It covers a range of uses, including spatial relationships, numerical comparisons, and expressions of authority or preeminence. The New Testament employs it in various contexts, such as indicating location in Matthew and Luke or denoting superiority in John.

αὐτός is a pronoun meaning 'self' or 'the same,' used to emphasize distinction or opposition. It can function as a reflexive pronoun and appears frequently in the New Testament, often in contexts that highlight contrast or identity, such as in Luke 5:37 and John 2:25. The entries indicate that it can also be used in various grammatical constructions, including with articles to denote sameness.

The Greek word ἐπιτιμάω (i.e., *epitimao*) is built from the prefix ἐπι- and the root τιμάω. It covers a range of meanings including to honor, to raise in price, and primarily to censure or rebuke. In the New Testament, it appears in contexts where Jesus admonishes or rebukes, such as in Matthew 19:13 and Luke 23:40.
OnE may ‘rebuke’ another without bringing the rebuked to a conviction of any fault on his part; and this, either because there was no fault, and the rebuke was therefore unneeded or unjust; or else because, though there was such fault, the rebuke was ineffectual to bring the offender to own it; and in this possibility of ‘rebuking’ for sin, without ‘ convincing’ of sin, lies the distinction between these two words. In ἐπιτιμᾶν lies simply the notion of rebuking ; which word can therefore be used of one unjustly checking or blaming another; in this sense Peter ‘began to rebuke’ his Lord (ἤρξατο ἐπιτιμᾶν, Matt. xvi. 22; cf. xix. 13; Luke xviii. 39):—or ineffectually, and without any profit to the person rebuked, who is not thereby brought to see his sin; as when the penitent robber ‘rebuked ’ (ἐπετίμα) his fellow malefactor (Luke xxiii. 40; cf. Mark ix. 25). But ἐλέγχειν is a much more…

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.
1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.
This he calls the preaching of the cross.
2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.
3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.
Th' adorning thee with so much art,
Is but a barb'rous skill.

The Greek word πυρετός (i.e., *pyretos*) means 'fever' and is derived from the root for 'fire' (πῦρ). It appears in several New Testament passages, including Matthew 8:15 and Mark 1:31. The term can also refer to 'fiery heat' in a broader sense, but its primary usage in the New Testament is as a noun for fever.

[in LXX: De 28:22 (קדַּחַת)*;]

πυρετός, -ov, ὁ, (πῦρ); 1. fiery heat (Hom. Il. 22, 31 [but interpreters now give it the sense of ‘fever’ in this pass.; ef. Hbeling, Lex. Hom. s. v.; Schmidt, Syn. ch. 60 ὃ 147). 2. fever: Mt. viii. 15; Mk. i. 31; Lk. iv. 39; Jn. iv. 52; Acts xxviii. 8, (Hippoer., Arstph., Plat., sqq.; Deut. xxviii. 22); mup. μέγας, Lk. iv. 38 (as Galen de different. feb. 1, 1 says σύνηθες τοῖς ἰατροῖς ὀνομάζειν . - - τὸν μέγαν τε καὶ μικρὸν πυρετόν ; [cf.

fe'-ver (qaddachath, dalleqeth; puretos, derived from a root signifying "to burn"):
A generic term, applied to all diseases characterized by high temperature of body. Several forms of febrile disease are among the commonest of all maladies in Palestine today, as they were also in the period covered by the Bible history. Of these the most prevalent is ague or intermittent malarial fever, which is common in all parts but especially in low-lying districts or places where there are pools or marshes in which mosquitoes breed, these insects being the commonest carriers of the malaria bacillus. These fevers are generally more severe in late summer and autumn, when the mosquitoes are most numerous, and when there is a liability to chill, owing to the sudden drop of temperature at sunset. During the day one uses as light clothing as possible, but immediately after sunset the air becomes chilly…
Fever
(Deut. 28:22; Matt. 8:14; Mark 1:30; John 4:52; Acts 28:8), a burning heat, as the word so rendered denotes, which attends all febrile attacks. In all Eastern countries such diseases are very common. Peter’s wife’s mother is said to have suffered from a “great fever” (Luke 4:38), an instance of Luke’s professional exactitude in describing disease. He adopts here the technical medical distinction, as in those times fevers were divided into the “great” and the “less.”

καί (kai) is a conjunction meaning 'and,' used to connect words, phrases, and clauses. It serves various functions, including copulative and adjunctive uses, and can express cumulative ideas like 'also' or 'even.' The New Testament frequently employs it to link terms and sentences, as seen in verses like Matthew 2:18 and John 10:3. Abbott-Smith notes its use in both simple and complex structures, while Thayer emphasizes its role as the most common particle in the New Testament.

ἀφίημι (aphiemi) means to send away or release, encompassing a range of actions such as forgiving debts or sins, allowing someone to depart, and neglecting something. It appears in various contexts in the New Testament, including forgiveness in Matthew 9:2 and the release of the spirit in Matthew 27:50. The word is built from the prefix ἀπ- (away) and ἵημι (to send).

αὐτός is a pronoun meaning 'self' or 'the same,' used to emphasize distinction or opposition. It can function as a reflexive pronoun and appears frequently in the New Testament, often in contexts that highlight contrast or identity, such as in Luke 5:37 and John 2:25. The entries indicate that it can also be used in various grammatical constructions, including with articles to denote sameness.

The Greek word παραχρῆμα, derived from the phrase meaning 'at the thing itself,' functions as an adverb meaning 'instantly' or 'forthwith.' It appears in several New Testament passages, including Matthew and Luke, indicating immediate action or response. The entries consistently emphasize its meaning of immediacy without significant disagreement among lexicographers.

δέ (de) is a post-positive particle in Greek, primarily used as a conjunction to connect clauses. It can express contrast (but, on the other hand) or continuation (and, also), and is often used to transition between ideas or to add emphasis. In the New Testament, it appears frequently in various contexts, such as contrasting statements or resuming interrupted discourse, with notable examples in Matthew and 2 Corinthians.

The Greek word ἀνίστημι (*anistēmi*) is built from the components meaning 'up' and 'to stand.' It covers a range of meanings including to raise up, to cause to rise from sleep or death, and to set up or establish. In the New Testament, it is used in contexts such as raising the dead (John 6:39) and causing someone to stand (Acts 9:41).
ἀν-ίστημι : fut. ἀναστήσω; 1 aor. ἀνέστησα: 2 aor. ἀνἔστην, impy. ἀνάστηθι and (Acts xii. 7; Eph. v. 14 and L WH tat. in Acts ix. 11) ἀνάστα (W. § 14, 1h.; [B. 47 (40)]); Mid., pres. ἀνίσταμαι: fut. ἀναστήσομαι; [fr. Hom. down]; I. Transitively, in the pres. 1 aor. and fut. act., to cause to rise, raise up, (Dp); a. prop. of one lying down: Actsix.41. b. toraise up from death: Jn. vi. 39 sq. 44, 54; Acts ii. 32; xiii. 34, (so in Grk. writ.). ο. to raise up, cause to be born:
ἀνίστημι. P Amh II. 684 (late i/a.p.) has ἀρούρας . . . ὑπὸ ἀμφοτέρων τῶν πρὸς χρείαις διὰ τῶν λόγων ἀνασταθείσας = ‘‘reported” or the like. The transitive tenses are common in the sense of ‘‘setting up” a statue; cf. P Oxy IV. 70725 (c. A.D. 136) ἀνασ[τῆ]σαί τε τὰς τοῦ κτήματος Kal πωμαρίου πλάτας ἐπὶ μέτροις, ‘that he should restore on a certain scale the walls (?) of the vineyard and orchard” (Edd.), BGU II. 362%%4 (A.D. 215) (= Chrest. 1. p. 127) εἰς ὑπηρεσίαν τοῦ ἀναστίαθ]έντος θείου κ[ολοσ]σιαίου ἀνδριάντος. The formula became so common for setting up a gravestone that ἀνέστησα alone, with accus. of person buried, became current in E. Phrygia and Lycaonia (Ramsay C. and B., ii. p. 732). P Oxy VIII. 1161® (Christian letter, iv/A.D.) μὴ δυναμένη ἀναστῆναι ἐκ τῆς κοίτης pov, will serve as an instance of the intransitive use. One very interesting passage is added by a restoration of…

διακονέω (diakoneo) means to serve or minister, often in the context of providing assistance or care for others. It can refer to serving at a table or fulfilling the duties of a deacon, as seen in verses like Matthew 20:28 and 1 Timothy 3:10. The word is derived from the noun διάκονος (diakonos), meaning 'deacon' or 'servant.'

αὐτός is a pronoun meaning 'self' or 'the same,' used to emphasize distinction or opposition. It can function as a reflexive pronoun and appears frequently in the New Testament, often in contexts that highlight contrast or identity, such as in Luke 5:37 and John 2:25. The entries indicate that it can also be used in various grammatical constructions, including with articles to denote sameness.
αὐτός, -ή, -ό,
determinative pron., in late Gk. much more freq. than in cl. (WM, 178 f.; Jannaris, HGG, §1399).

It is used by the bibl. writ. both of the O. T. and of the N. T. far more frequently than the other pronouns; and in this very frequent and almost inordinate use of it, they deviate greatly from prof. auth.; cf. B. § 127, 9. [On classic usage ef.
