Matthew 8:16

Matthew 8:16

Peter’s Mother-in-Law Healed

14 ^aNow when Jesus had come into Peter’s house, He saw ^bhis wife’s mother lying sick with a fever.

15 So He touched her hand, and the fever left her. And she arose and served¹ them.

Many Healed in the Evening

16 ^aWhen evening had come, they brought to Him many who were demon-possessed. And He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick,

17 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying:
^a“He Himself took our infirmities
And bore our sicknesses.”

The Cost of Discipleship

18 And when Jesus saw great multitudes about Him, He gave a command to depart to the other side.

19 ^aThen a certain scribe came and said to Him, “Teacher, I will follow You wherever You go.”

When even was come (oyiav genomenhv). Genitive absolute. A beautiful sunset scene at the close of the Sabbath day (Mark 1:21). Then the crowds came as Jesus stood in the door of Peter's house (Mark 1:33; Matthew 8:14) as all the city gathered there with the sick, "all those who had it bad" (see on Matthew 4:24) and he healed them "with a word" (logw). It was a never to be forgotten memory for those who saw it.
