  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."
