Matthew 8:16-17

8:16 When it was evening, many demon-possessed people were brought to him. He drove out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick. 8:17 In this way what was spoken by Isaiah the prophet was fulfilled:

He took our weaknesses and carried our diseases.


sn Note how the author distinguishes healing from exorcism here, implying that the two are not identical.

tn Grk “was fulfilled, saying.” The participle λέγοντος (legontos) is redundant and has not been translated.

sn A quotation from Isa 53:4.
