Matthew 8 - He Healed Them All!

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 it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses. Matthew 8:16-17

Matthew tells us that after Jesus healed the leprous man, He healed the Centurion's servant who was grievously afflicted by demons. The unique thing about the Centurion is that he was a gentile pagan who recognized Jesus as Messiah and treated Him with the same respect as a ruler or king. He saw and understood the authority Jesus had over demons and disease and KNEW He could heal at the spoken word - no prayers or fanfare, but just a word of authority, the same way the Centurion would speak to his soldiers. Jesus told His disciples He had not seen such great faith in all of Israel.

In Peter's house, Jesus healed Peter's mother-in-law of a fever, and again, the multitudes thronged Him. All who came to Him at Peter's house that night who were demon afflicted and sick were healed. ALL. Matthew said this was to fulfill Isaiah 53, that "surely He has born all our sicknesses and diseases."

When looking at the original Hebrew language in Isaiah, it appears that prophet also says that Messiah bore all of mankind's sicknesses and disease, NOT griefs and sorrows as the KJV states. Praise God for the Internet that enables us non-scholars to see the original language!

He healed them ALL because He bore ALL sickness and disease!
