Verse 8. Freely ye have received, freely give. That is they were not to sell their favours of healing, preaching, etc. They were not to make a money-making business of it, to bargain specially to heal for so much, and to cast out devils for so much. This, however, neither then nor afterwards precluded them from receiving a competent support. See Lk 10:7, 1Cor 9:8-14, 1Timm 5:18. (z) "cast out devils" Acts 8:18,20Matthew 11:18
Verse 18. Mt 11:16 (p) "hath a devil" Mt 10:25, Jn 7:20
