This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Went abroad (διήρχετο)
Διά throughout the region. Wyc., the word walked about.
Came together (σηνήρχοντο)
Imperfect. Kept coming together, or were coming.
To be healed (θεραπεύεσθαι)
Originally, to be an attendant, to do service; and therefore of a physician, to attend upon, or treat medically. In classical writers it has also the meaning to heal, as undoubtedly in the New Testament, and in Luke (Luk 13:14; Act 4:14, etc.). See on Mat 8:7, and compare ἰαομαι, to heal, in Luk 5:17.
Infirmities (ἀσθενειῶν)
A strictly literal rendering; ἀ, not, and σθένος strength, exactly answering to the Latin in, not, and firmus, strong.
