Sabbath in Capernaum

Jesus stands beside a sick woman’s bed in Simon Peter’s house, gently taking her by the hand as she rises from fever. A concerned woman watches from the bedside, while figures gather at the doorway, echoing the crowds who came at sundown seeking healing. The setting reflects the Sabbath in Capernaum, immediately after Jesus left the synagogue and entered the home of Simon Peter. In the Gospel accounts, Christ rebukes the fever, lifts the woman up, and she begins to serve, revealing both His authority over sickness and the restoration of a person to grateful service. This artwork is well suited for teaching on the healing ministry of Jesus, Sabbath mercy, the compassion of Christ, and the early public ministry in Galilee.
