Abstract
The three Synoptic Gospels narrate the story of Jesus’ healing of Simon’s mother-in-law as part of their account of the beginnings of Jesus’ ministry in Galilee. The focus of this article are the christological contours of the three variants, that is, differences in their portrayal of Jesus. To highlight the uniqueness of each evangelist in regard to the christological aspect of the story, the article employs a combination of lexical analysis, synoptic comparison, and semantic approach. It seeks to identify the significance of the changes made by Matthew and Luke vis-a-vis their Marcan counterpart, and sketch the christological profile of each evangelist.
