The evangelist having, in the foregoing chapters, given us a specimen of our Lord’s preaching, proceeds now to give some instances of the miracles he wrought, which prove him a Teacher come from God, and the great Healer of a diseased world. In this chapter we have, I. Christ’s cleansing of a leper, Matthew 8:1-8:4. II. His curing a palsy and fever, Matthew 8:5-8:18. III. His communing with two that were disposed to follow him, Matthew 8:19-8:22. IV. His controlling the tempest, Matthew 8:23-8:27. V. His casting out devils, Matthew 8:28-8:34. MHBCC 938.1
