Matthew 8:1

Introduction

Great multitudes follow Christ, Mat 8:1. He heals a leper, Mat 8:2-4. Heals the centurion's servant, Mat 8:5-13. Heals Peter's wife's mother, Mat 8:14, Mat 8:15; and several other diseased persons, Mat 8:16, Mat 8:17. Departs from that place, Mat 8:18. Two persons offer to be his disciples, Mat 8:19-22. He and his disciples are overtaken with a tempest, which he miraculously stills, Mat 8:23-27. He cures demoniacs, and the demons which went out enter into a herd of swine, which, rushing into the sea, perish, Mat 8:28-32. The swine-herds announce the miracle to the Gergesenes, who request Christ to depart from their country, Mat 8:33, Mat 8:34.

Verse 1

From the mountain - That mountain on which he had delivered the preceding inimitable sermon.
