This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Mat 8:17. Ὅπως πληρωθῇ, that it might be fulfilled) It behoved that the Physician of the soul should also remove bodily complaints from those who came in His way.[376] In this manner also, therefore, was fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah. Body and soul together form one man: the corrupting principle of both soul and body is one [namely sin]; one and the same aid was given to both by this great Physician, as the case required.-ἔλαβε, took) i.e. removed from us.
[376] And of whom the extraordinary numbers are from time to time noticed, Mat 4:23; Mat 9:35-36 (Luk 4:21), Mat 12:15, Mat 15:30, Mat 21:14.-Harm, p. 259.
