Context of Matthew 8:15
13Then Jesus said to the officer, ‘Go home. You believed that I would make your servant well again. So I will do it for you.’ At that moment, the servant did become well again. 14Jesus went into Peter's house. There, he saw the mother of Peter's wife. She was lying in bed. She was ill and her body was very hot. Jesus touched her hand and immediately she was well again. So she got up and she prepared food for Jesus. 16That evening, people brought to Jesus many people who were ill. Many of them had bad spirits in them. Jesus spoke a word so that the bad spirits left them. He made everybody who was ill well again. 17Jesus did this so that the words of the prophet Isaiah would become true: ‘He took away everything that makes us weak. He carried away everything that makes us ill.’
