• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 3434. And he healed many that were sick of divers diseases, and cast out many devils--In Mt 8:16 it is said, "He cast out the spirits with His word"; or rather, "with a word"--a word of command. and suffered not the devils to speak, because they knew him--Evidently they would have spoken, if permitted, proclaiming His Messiahship in such terms as in the synagogue; but once in one day, and that testimony immediately silenced, was enough.
