The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Matthew 8:14-17

Chapter 31 Prayer Almighty God, we are all sick: do thou heal our sicknesses and take our infirmities, and make us well with the health of heaven. We are sick in body, or we are sick in heart: the whole life is crooked and in pain, our very breathing is a cry of distress, and every pulse of our heart is a confession of weakness. Behold our life is a poverty, and our existence is a sigh. The whole head is sick and the whole heart is faint, and there is in us no health. We come to the great... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Matthew 8:14-17

What a beautiful representation is here made, in a short compass, of the lovely, and all-loving JESUS! With a word only the Lord healed! Think of. his sovereignty: think of his grace. And let not the Reader overlook what is said of his taking our infirmities, and bearing our sicknesses. Mark, I pray you, it is said, that Himself did it. JESUS CHRIST personally did this. It is the Person of CHRIST, as God-man, in this instance, we are everlastingly to keep in view. Not the person of the FATHER,... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 8:14-17

14-17 Peter had a wife, yet was an apostle of Christ, who showed that he approved of the married state, by being thus kind to Peter's wife's relations. The church of Rome, which forbids ministers to marry, goes contrary to that apostle upon whom they rest so much. He had his wife's mother with him in his family, which is an example to be kind to our relations. In spiritual healing, the Scripture speaks the word, the Spirit gives the touch, touches the heart, touches the hand. Those who recover... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Matthew 8:1-99

Matthew 8 AFTER THESE THREE chapters filled with His teachings, Matthew gives us two chapters occupied with His works of power. It was not enough for Him to enunciate the principles of the kingdom, He displayed the power of the kingdom in a variety of striking ways. There are five main illustrations of that power in Matthew 8.0 , and again in Matthew 9.0 . In each case we may say that the miracle the Lord performed in connection with human bodies, or with visible and tangible things, was a... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Matthew 8:16-17

Events of that Sabbath-evening: v. 16. When the even was come, they brought unto Him many that were possessed with devils; and He cast out the spirits with His word, and healed all that were sick, v. 17. that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses. All Galilee was filled with the report concerning Christ, and a steady stream of sick people with their relatives was usually pouring in from every direction.... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Matthew 8:11-17

the Great Physician Matthew 8:11-17 A feast was the Hebrew conception of heaven. The Jews thought they were secure of it, because of their descent from Abraham. Grace is not hereditary; to receive it, every man has to exercise a personal faith in Christ. Let us see to it that our religion is absolutely true, lest it land us in hopeless disappointment. Notice that faith is the measure of divine performance- as… so…. Our Lord can deliver from the fever-heat of passion and make the soul calm,... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Matthew 8:1-34

The King passed down from the mountain and from teaching in order that He might bring the Kingdom nearer to His people, and give them examples of its benefits. What a wondrous application of His power; leprosy, palsy, fever, all fly before Him, and mark the cosmopolitanism of His giving-a leper, a Roman, a woman, all the despised in the Jewish mind. In that wonderful evening, when the crowds gathered, and the King took their infirmities and bore their diseases, what a radiant revelation He... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Matthew 8:1-17

The Miracle-Working Christ Matthew 8:1-17 INTRODUCTORY WORDS 1. On the mountain top. The mountain tops in the Bible stand forth in bold review. They represent Heavenly experiences, fellowship with God, and stand for visions of the things to come. (1) We read in Deuteronomy these words: "And Moses went up * * to the top of Pisgah, * * and the Lord shewed him all the land." It was above the miasma of the swamp and the valley that Moses ascended. What a wonderful view was his! From Nebo's... read more

James Nisbet

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 8:16

THE DIVINE CONSOLER When the even was come … healed all that were sick.’ Matthew 8:16 It is easy to imagine the scene. Our Lord had healed St. Peter’s mother-in-law of a great fever that very day, and now at eventide they carry the sick ones of Capernaum to His feet. He lays now on one, now on another, His pure and gentle hands, and heals them all. Take up a map of the world, and the vision widens, and from north, south, east, and west the sin-sick sons of Adam come to Him for Divine healing.... read more
