At sunset
The phrase "at sunset" indicates the time of day when the events occurred. In Jewish culture, the day begins at sunset, marking the end of the Sabbath. This timing is significant because it shows the eagerness of the people to seek Jesus' healing power as soon as the Sabbath restrictions were lifted. The setting sun symbolizes the end of rest and the beginning of a new opportunity for divine intervention. It reflects the hope and anticipation of the people who waited patiently to bring their needs to Jesus.

all who were ill
The phrase "all who were ill" emphasizes the inclusivity of Jesus' ministry. The Greek word used here, "astheneia," refers to weakness or sickness, indicating a broad range of physical ailments. This highlights Jesus' compassion and willingness to heal everyone, regardless of the severity or type of illness. It underscores the universal nature of His healing power and His desire to restore wholeness to all who come to Him in faith.

with various diseases
"Various diseases" points to the diversity of ailments that afflicted the people. The Greek word "poikilos" means manifold or diverse, suggesting that Jesus' healing was not limited to specific conditions but extended to all forms of physical suffering. This demonstrates His authority over all creation and His ability to address the full spectrum of human afflictions. It also reflects the brokenness of the world and the comprehensive nature of Jesus' redemptive work.

were brought to Jesus
The act of being "brought to Jesus" signifies the faith and initiative of those who sought His help. It implies a community effort, where friends and family members carried their loved ones to the source of healing. This action reflects the belief in Jesus' power and the hope that He could provide what no one else could. It serves as a model for believers to bring their burdens and the needs of others to Christ, trusting in His ability to heal and restore.

laying His hands on each one
The phrase "laying His hands on each one" highlights the personal and intimate nature of Jesus' healing ministry. The act of laying hands was a common practice in Jewish culture, symbolizing the transfer of blessing, authority, or healing. By touching each person, Jesus demonstrated His compassion and willingness to engage with their suffering. It signifies His personal attention to every individual, affirming their worth and His desire to bring them healing and peace.

He healed them
"He healed them" is a powerful declaration of Jesus' authority and compassion. The Greek word "therapeuo" means to serve or to cure, indicating both the physical and spiritual restoration that Jesus provided. This phrase encapsulates the miraculous nature of His ministry and His fulfillment of the Messianic prophecies. It serves as a testament to His divine power and His role as the Great Physician, who came to heal the brokenhearted and set the captives free.

(40, 41) Now when the sun was setting.--See Notes on Matthew 8:16-17. Common to St. Luke and St. Mark are the "divers diseases," and the silence imposed on the demoniacs. The words of the demoniacs, "Thou art the Son of God," and "they knew that He was the Christ," are peculiar to this Gospel.

Verse 40. - Now when the sun was setting, all they that had any sick with divers diseases brought them unto him; and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them. The healing of the "possessed" in the synagogue that morning, followed by the cure of the fever of Simon's wife's mother, we know was rapidly noised abroad, and in great measure accoutered for the crowds who brought their sick to him in the evening. It was evidently in the life of Jesus a notable occasion, and many a sick tortured one had occasion to bless the Master's presence then. It was so memorable an occasion that all the three evangelists notice it; their reports are recorded in almost the same words. No doubt, in the early days of the preaching of the faith, this evening's work was constantly alluded to by the first teachers. The note of time, "when the sun was setting," indicates that the moment in question had been waited for, for sunset ended the sabbath, and then those outside Capernaum and in its outlying suburbs were enabled to bring their sick and afflicted without infringing the strict sabbath rules. "The twilight scene, of Jesus moving about with word and touch of healing among the sick and suffering, the raving and tortured crowd (Matthew 4:24), is one of the most striking in the Gospels, and St. Matthew quotes it as a fulfillment of Isaiah 53:4" (Farrar).
