2 And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils,



Ver. 2. Which had been healed] Exo_30:10. After sickness they were to offer to God the ransom of their lives. Hezekiah testified his thankfulness for recovery by a song; these good women, by following Christ; when they might have staid at home with more ease to themselves, and more thank of their friends. Nay, very heathens, after a fit of sickness, would consecrate something to their gods.



Mary, called Magdalen, out of whom went seven devils] Which some interpret of seven deadly sins.
