This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
They that are whole (οἱ ὑγιαίνοντες)
Both Matthew and Mark use ἰσχύοντες, the strong. This use of the verb in its primary sense, to be in sound health, is found in Luk 7:10; Luk 15:27; and once in John, 3 Ep. 3Jo 1:2. For this meaning it is the regular word in medical writings. Paul uses it only in the metaphorical sense: sound doctrine, sound words, sound in faith, etc. See 1Ti 1:10; 1Ti 6:3; Tit 1:13, etc.
