Ver. 12-15. See Poole on "Mat_8:2", and verses following to Mat_8:5. See Poole on "Mar_1:40", and verses following to Mar_1:45. Matthew reports this miracle done when Christ came down from themountain, and immediately after saith, that he entered into Capernaum, Mat_8:5. Mark also, concluding the first chapter with this piece of history, he begins the second with telling us, that heentered into Capernaum after some days. So that some think he was near Capernaum, within the bounds of it, when he wrought this miracle, but there is no certainty of that.
