This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Mat 8:16. Ὀψίας, evening) of that day on which so much had been said and done. Diseases are wont to be more oppressive at eventide.-τὰ πνεύματα, the spirits) i.e. the devils.-λόγῳ, with a word[374]) by that alone.[375]-πάντας, all) without exception: some men are said to have a healing power in the case only of certain special diseases.
[374] That such is Bengel’s meaning is clear from his German Version, where he renders it “mit einem wort.” E. V. has “By His word.”-(I. B.)
[375] “Solo,” i.e. without using any other means.-(I. B.)
