Jesus Heals Simon's Mother-in-Law

[@kyrianpaul2992]

One thing I love about the Catholic church and being a Catholic is the way we don't joke with little details, no matter how insignificant it sounds.

[@robertmiller5258]

Very shrewd point

[@lonelyberg1316]

You're right

[@cnam1258]

I always learn something profoundly interesting whenever I watch these videos. Every single time. The only thing stopping anyone from acquiring a deep understanding of the Faith is simply a lack of willingness to press click each time these videos appear.

Jesus loves you so much doctor Pitre.😊🤗🎈

[@mazikode]

Thank you..happy monday!!

[@reemsuekar8112]

Thank you.

[@sliglusamelius8578]

Thanks Brant Pitre.

[@josephjackson1956]

I can imagine how quickly the fever left her. I’ve had headaches for days at a time, but sometimes when I pray they go away after a minute or so. It’s so relieving!! 😁☺️

[@robertmiller5258]

I wonder if ‘immediately’ was a catch phrase of Peter recorded by Mark.

[@paulmiller3469]

Thanks Dr. Pitre! I have wondered about the conspicuous absence of St. Peter's wife for a while. Also, I wondered what became of this mother-in-law. We may never know, but was she among the women that also traveled with Jesus? Did she ever know the Blessed Virgin?

[@robingarzar]

I would disagree with the comment that Peter was a widower because St. Paul mentions 1 Cor.9:5 as "Don’t we have the right to bring a believing wife with us as the other apostles and the Lord’s brothers do, and as Peter does?"

[@tonyl3762]

The words for woman and wife were often interchangeable in ancient languages. Not as definitive perhaps as you might think. Though the early Church seemed to think Peter did have a wife.

[@sandrapereira-fonseca3650]

Hahahah love that you straightaway say “that’s not true” 😁 to the point. As usual you were really good Dr. Pitre, does your name have any connections with Peter ?

[@gomezjkv]

It does appear that Peter is married after Jesus’ assumption (1Cor 9) when Paul asks why it’s okay for the other apostles, Jesus’ brothers and for Cephas to bring along their believing wives and to be able to refrain from working, which would imply that those apostles who were married took time off to be with their families. I suppose it could be argued that the Cephas mentioned in verse 5 is some other guy named Cephas, however Cephas is the name that Jesus gave Simon in John 1:42 and Paul does seem to alternate between Peter and Cephas when referring to Saint Peter, like He does in the letter to the Galatians. Why is this an issue?

[@LambsServant]

My only correction would be is that Jesus ascended into Heaven. He was not assumed.

[@gomezjkv]

@@LambsServant Right. I always confuse assumption.. ascension... annunciation... I suppose I could blame autocorrect. :)

[@centinel20]

I now understand why he denied Him 3 times. Id be pissed too if someone healed my mother in law.

[@gomezjkv]

Why is it that the Revised NAB does not use “immediately” in those versus? Even the Douay-Rheims renders it as immediately.

[@tatedeschamps8578]

St Peter has a daughter. The Bible tv show, base on truth. Paul that was Saul scared the daughter and almost hurt her at that time before he was Paul. God Bless you all.

[@fatherjohnvianneyacosta4918]

It maybe true that the wife of simon is not mentioned here, but in other passage of scripture his wife is mentioned as accompanying him in his missionary journey as told to us by Paul in his letter to the Corinthians. Catholic Study Bible 1 Corinthians 9:5 5 Do we not have the right to be accompanied by a wife,* as the other apostles and the brethren * of the Lord and Cephas?

[@ante3973]

I love dr. Pitre and all his work but I think that he missed this fact that Paul clearly suggests that during the time of Paul's ministry Peter had a wife accompanying him.......... also if I remember correctly Eusebius mentions that Peter's wife was martyred

[@brianmelville520]

Seen again. 24th, Set. 2023.

[@l8dArwen]

Was it the custom for a mother-in-law to live with her daughter's husband if she died? Would she go with her other children if she had any?

[@tafazzi-on-discord]

I guess that being a fisherman Peter lived in the lower income social class of the region. In that context, opportunity is worth more than custom, even IF (I don't know if this is the case, just talking hypothethical) most of the times a mother would be the responsibility of her firstborn son, maybe Peter's brother in law couldn't accomodate another mouth to feed in his house.

[@robertmiller5258]

Dr Pitre speaks the truth - you don’t get a mother-in-law without getting a wife!

[@brianmelville520]

08-FEB-2024. Where was Simon's wife?

[@realric60]

New Blazer 😂😂😂

[@hvdebateunion]

For a different vision of this incident, you may want to have a view of Series 1, Episode 8 of "The Chosen," where the healing of Simon's MIL is treated as comic relief. "Does he like goat cheese?" "Yes, I love goat cheese." Clearly not taken from any Evangelist.

[@albaniancrusader01]

Did she get mad with Peter by bringing a gang inside the house, then Jesus had to talk her down 😀 (mother-in-low) . Thanks dr Petre, God bless 🙏🏻

[@myronmercado]

They said Peter denied Jesus three times because He healed his mother in law. 😂😂😂

[@realric60]

Hello ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@amaljaraisy2021]

1 Corinthians 9:5 New International Version 5 Don’t we have the right to take a believing wife(A) along with us, as do the other apostles and the Lord’s brothers(B) and Cephas[a]?(C) Here it’s said other wise Peter was married even after Jesus

[@marountayar2831]

Peter denied Jesus, why did he deny Jesus? Because Jesus healed Peter`s mother in law. lol

[@georgeokoro1149]

Haaaaaa...I'm so quoting this.

[@robertedwards909]

She had covid-19

[@cbooth151]

In other words, Jesus healed the apostle Peter's mother-in-law. So, clearly, Peter, who Catholics believe was the first pope, was a married man. The truth of the matter is that the Catholic Church took it upon itself to make it a Church law that prohibits unmarried priests from getting married, as the following Catholic references say... 1. “We do not find in the New Testament any indication of celibacy being made compulsory either upon the Apostles or those whom they ordained.”-The Catholic Encyclopedia 2. “The oldest evidence of a law on priestly celibacy is Canon 33 of the Council of Elvira [Spain], circa 300 C.E.”-Dictionnaire de Théologie Catholique 3. "Clerics are obliged to observe perfect and perpetual continence...and therefore are bound to celibacy..."---The Catholic Code of Canon Law states The Catholic Church has a bad habit of teaching things that are unscriptural.

[@tafazzi-on-discord]

You can become priest after you marry even today.

[@cbooth151]

@@tafazzi-on-discord No, thanks. All priests do are tell lies and molest children.
