Knowing the Word in Matthew 8

Jesus Heals Many

14 And when Jesus entered Peter's house [this is probably where Jesus stayed when in Capernaum], he saw his mother-in-law [excluded from the congregation because she was a woman] lying sick with a fever. 15 He touched her hand, and the fever left her, and she rose and began to serve him. 16 That evening they brought to him many who were oppressed by demons, and he cast out the spirits with a word [not by touch] and healed all who were sick. 17 This was to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah [53:4]: “He took our illnesses and bore our diseases.”
