The death of Peter - and his wife
1. Peter
Peter was one of the twelve disciples of Jesus.
The book of Mark is Peter's Gospel.
Peter wrote 1 Peter and 2 Peter.
Peter is recognized as being the first "Pope" of the Catholic Church.
Was Peter married?
2. Matthew 8:14-15 February: Fever purification
Matthew 8:14 And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother laid, and sick of a fever. [kjv]
και ελθων ο ιησους εις την οικιαν πετρου ειδεν την πενθεραν αυτου βεβλημενην και πυρεσσουσαν [gnt]
8:15 And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered unto them. [kjv]
και ηψατο της χειρος αυτης και αφηκεν αυτην ο πυρετος και ηγερθη και διηκονει αυτω [gnt]
The Latin word
"februum" ≈ "purification" which is cognate with the Latin word
"febris" ≈ "fever" from the
PIE (Proto Indo-European) root
"*DEG" ≈ "burn, warm" and from which we get the English word
"fever".
The Roman
purification ritual of
February was on
February 15, the full moon of the original Roman lunar calendar. The Latin word
"februum" ≈ "purification" became the name for the month of
February which had been the
last month of the year, and the only month with less than 30 days.
Do you ever have a
February fever?

5. Mark 10:12

They say, accordingly, that the blessed Peter, on seeing his wife led to death, rejoiced on account of her call and conveyance home, and called very encouragingly and comfortingly, addressing her by name, “Remember thou the Lord.” Such was the marriage of the blessed and their perfect disposition towards those dearest to them.
