Matthew 8:14-17

The Authority of Jesus over Uncleanness, Sickness, Discipleship, Storms, and Demons

Matthew moves from cleansing and healing among Israel, to Gentile faith and kingdom inclusion, to servant-fulfillment and discipleship cost, then to Jesus’ authority over chaos and demons, ending with a town that asks him to leave.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

14 When Jesus arrived at Peter’s house, He saw Peter’s mother-in-law sick in bed with a fever.

15 So He touched her hand, and the fever left her, and she got up and began to serve Him.

16 When evening came, many who were demon-possessed were brought to Jesus, and He drove out the spirits with a word and healed all the sick.

17 This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah: “He took up our infirmities and carried our diseases.”
