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."
