Berean Study Bible

When evening came
The phrase "when evening came" indicates a specific time of day, which is significant in the Jewish context. The Jewish day begins at sunset, and this timing suggests the end of the Sabbath, when people were free to travel and seek Jesus without breaking Sabbath laws. This highlights the eagerness of the people to seek Jesus' healing power as soon as it was permissible, demonstrating their faith and desperation for relief.

many who were demon-possessed
The term "demon-possessed" refers to individuals who were under the control or influence of evil spirits. In the Greek, the word used is "daimonizomai," which implies being tormented or vexed by demons. This reflects the spiritual warfare present in the world and the recognition of evil forces that oppose God's kingdom. The presence of many demon-possessed individuals underscores the pervasive nature of spiritual oppression at the time and the need for divine intervention.

were brought to Him
The act of bringing the demon-possessed to Jesus signifies the faith and hope of the people in His ability to heal and deliver. It also reflects the communal aspect of faith, where friends and family members took initiative to bring their loved ones to the source of healing. This communal action is a testament to the belief in Jesus' authority and compassion.

He drove out the spirits
The phrase "He drove out the spirits" demonstrates Jesus' authority over the spiritual realm. The Greek word "ekballo" is used here, meaning to cast out or expel. This action signifies Jesus' power to command and remove evil forces, affirming His divine authority and fulfilling the messianic prophecies of bringing liberation to the captives (Isaiah 61:1).

with a word
The simplicity of the phrase "with a word" highlights the power and authority of Jesus' spoken word. Unlike other exorcists of the time who might use elaborate rituals or incantations, Jesus' mere word was sufficient to command the spirits to leave. This underscores the divine nature of Christ, whose word is powerful and effective, echoing the creative power of God's word in Genesis.

and healed all the sick
The phrase "and healed all the sick" emphasizes the comprehensive nature of Jesus' healing ministry. The Greek word "therapeuo" is used for healing, indicating not just physical restoration but also wholeness and well-being. Jesus' healing of "all" the sick demonstrates His compassion and willingness to restore everyone who comes to Him, reflecting the inclusive nature of His ministry and the fulfillment of the prophecy in Isaiah 53:4, which speaks of the Messiah bearing our infirmities.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(16) When the even was come.--Or, as St. Luke has it, "While the sun was setting." There were two reasons why the time should be thus specified. (1) It was natural that the sick should be brought in the cool of the evening, rather than in the scorching heat of the afternoon; and (2) it was the Sabbath, and the feeling which made the Pharisees question the lawfulness of a man's carrying the bed on which he had been lying (John 5:10), would probably have deterred the friends of the sick from bringing them as long as it lasted. But with sunset the Sabbath came to a close, and then they would feel themselves free to act. The prominence given to "those that were possessed with devils," both by St. Matthew and St. Mark, shows that it was the work of the Sabbath morning that had most impressed itself on their minds.

Pulpit Commentary

Verses 16, 17. - The great number of his miracles, and the secret of his performing them. Verse 16. - Parallel passages: Mark 1:32-34; Luke 4:40. When the even was come; Revised Version, and when even-According to the original connexion, preserved, as it seems, in Mark and Luke, this was the evening of the day in which our Lord had healed the man with the withered hand in the synagogue. Probably, therefore, the day had been a sabbath. But with the setting sun (parallel passage in Luke), or rather, according to Talmudic teaching, when three stars were visible after sunset (vide Lightfoot, ' Her. Hebr.,' in lee.), the sabbath was over (Leviticus 23:32), and people were free to carry out their sick. Should the day not have been a sabbath, we may presume that the evening was chosen as cooler for the sick to be moved, and as more convenient to those who carried them, the day's work being done. They brought unto him many that were possessed with devils (Matthew 4:24, note): and he cast out the spirits with his (Revised Version, a) word (ver. 8). In contrast to saying over them the long formulas of exorcism used by others. And healed all that were sick. The stress is on all. None were so ill as to be beyond his power, and no kind of disease too great for him to subdue.
