“When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick:”
That evening they brought to him many who were oppressed by demons, and he cast out the spirits with a word and healed all who were sick. The healing ministry extends into the evening — the time when the leper's uncleanness would have prohibited contact during the day has passed, and the crowds bring the demon-oppressed and the sick in large numbers. He cast out the spirits with a word — the same word-authority that healed the centurion's servant at a distance. All who were sick — the comprehensiveness of the healing is Matthew's consistent demonstration that the kingdom's restoration is unlimited in scope.
