Context of Matthew 8:16
14And when Jesus was come into Peter’s house, he saw his wife’s mother lying sick of a fever. 15And he touched her hand, and the fever left her; and she arose, and ministered unto him. And when even was come, they brought unto him many possessed with demons: and he cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all that were sick: 17that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our diseases. 18Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, he gave commandment to depart unto the other side.

- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 16When the even was come - The Jews kept their sabbath from evening to evening, according to the law, Leviticus 23:32, From evening to evening shall ye celebrate your sabbath. And the rabbins say, The sabbath doth not enter but when the sun is set. Hence it was that the sick were not brought out to our Lord till after sun-set, because then the sabbath was ended.

- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 16When the even was come - The fame of the miracles of Jesus would probably draw together a crowd, and those who had friends that were afflicted would bring them. All that were brought to him he healed. This was proof of two things: first, of his great benevolence; and, secondly, of his divine mission.

- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 14-17Verses 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.

In spiritual healing, the Scripture speaks the word, the Spirit gives the touch, touches…Read the comment
