Matthew 8

Introduction

TEN MIRACLES are now narrated by Matthew in the following two chapters; not arranged in chronological order, but selected, apparently, as specimens of the Saviour’s divine works. In the Sermon on the Mount, in the last three chapters, our Lord is exhibited as teacher; in these chapters he is presented as a performer of those works by which the divinity of his teachings is demonstrated. Of these TEN, five are narrated in this chapter, as follows: 1. The cleansing of the leper; 2. Healing of the centurion’s servant, 3. Curing Peter’s wife’s mother of a fever; 4. Stilling the tempest; 5. Dispossessing the two demoniacs of Gadara.
