Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 8:16

‘And when evening was come, they brought to him many possessed with demons, and he cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick.’ Having given three remarkable examples of healing; of a leper, a Gentile and a fevered woman, Matthew now goes on to emphasise how Jesus also healed many. It was a special time of healing because of the reason for His coming. He was demonstrating the presence of the Coming One and of the Kingly Rule of Heaven. Notice first that His power over the... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 8:14-17

Matthew 8:14 f. Simon’ s Wife’ s Mother ( Mark 1:29-Obadiah : *, Luke 4:38 f.).— Mt. abbreviates and heightens Mk.— the cure is wrought by a mere touch. Matthew 8:16 f. The Sunset Healings ( Mark 1:32-Nahum : *, Luke 4:40 f.).— Not “ ere the sun was set,” as the well-known hymn has it, but Mt. omits this note as he does not say it was on the Sabbath. Note his transposition of Mk.’ s all brought and many healed; he will not admit the possibility that any were uncured. The unqualified... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Matthew 8:16-17

Mark hath much the same Mark 1:32-34 and Luke 4:40,Luke 4:41. Luke adds, he laid his hands upon them, and healed them. We before, Matthew 4:24, showed who were meant by persons possessed by devils. See Poole on "Matthew 4:24". It is only observable that it is said, he cast out the spirits by his word, by the same power by which he made the world and all things therein, Genesis 1:1-31, by his authoritative word. He healed all that were sick, that is, all that were brought to him. Laying on of... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Matthew 8:14-17

CRITICAL NOTESMatthew 8:16. When the even was come.—Or, as St. Luke has it, “while the sun was setting.” There were two reasons why the time should be thus specified. 1. It was natural that the sick should be brought in the cool of the evening, rather than in the scorching heat of the afternoon. 2. It was the Sabbath, and the feeling which made the Pharisees question the lawfulness of a man’s carrying the bed on which he had been lying (John 5:10), would probably have deterred the friends of... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Matthew 8:1-34

Matthew 8:2 . Behold, there came a leper and worshipped him. After having preached his sermon, and discovered his doctrine, says Jerome, an opportunity presented itself of displaying miracles, thereby to confirm the audience in the things he had delivered. Respecting the case of the leper, see on Leviticus 13:0. Mark 1:41. Luke 17:0. Matthew 8:5 . There came to him a centurion. See on Luke 7:0. Matthew 8:6 . Lord, my servant lieth at home sick. This religious and humane centurion is... read more

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: Ver. 16. When the even was come ] In the morning he sowed his seed, and in the evening he withheld not his hand, Ecclesiastes 11:6 . It is good to be doing while it is day. Mr Bradford, martyr, held that hour not well spent wherein he did not some good, either with his tongue, pen, or hand. read more
