Matthew 8:14-17
Summary for Matt 8:16-17: 8:16-17 a Jesus is the authoritative Lord over every disease and demon. 8:16 b with a simple command: Jesus’ authority extended beyond touch; his words brought healing and life.8:17 c He took our sicknesses and removed our diseases: When he took the sins of humanity, the Messiah also took our sickness. Sickness exists because sin is in the world, and one of the effects of Jesus’ taking our sin on the cross is physical healing (1 Pet 2:24 d). Jesus’ healings and exorcisms demonstrated, in fulfillment of Scripture, that he is the Messiah (see Matt 11:2-6 e; 12:28 f; 1 Cor 11:29-30 g; Jas 5:13-16 h).
