Matthew 8:14-15: Peter's Mother-in-Law
Hover over the references to see the Biblical text
Matthew 8:14-15
With no request from Peter's mother-in-law (who is sick in bed with a fever1) and no questions or instructions from Jesus, she is healed when he simply touches her hand. No one even asked for this healing! I don't think there are a lot of those instances recorded in the Gospels, but the Widow of Nain's son (Luke 7:11-17) and the cripple at the Pool of Bethesda (John 5:1-15) are two I can think of off hand.

The Greek word for fever literally means "thrown down"
