Context of Matthew 8:15

13Then Jesus told the centurion, “Go. As you have believed, let it be done for you.” And his servant was healed that very moment. 14Jesus went into Peter’s house and saw his mother-in-law lying in bed with a fever. So he touched her hand, and the fever left her. Then she got up and began to serve him. 16When evening came, they brought to him many who were demon-possessed. He drove out the spirits with a word and healed all who were sick, 17so that what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled: He himself took our weaknesses and carried our diseases.

• 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. 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…Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 1-34Here, the kingdom of God appears with supernatural power (see Matthew 4:23–25; 11:2–6). It reaches people who were previously excluded from God's blessings. This included: non-Jewish people, lepers, blind people, sick women, people possessed by demons, tax collectors, those with long-term bleeding, and the dead. Jesus showed compassion to people in need. But the religious leaders reacted with anger and opposition. Jesus called his followers to respond…Read the comment
