"That evening several demon-possessed people were brought to Jesus, and when He spoke a single word, all the demons fled; and the sick were healed. This fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, 'He took our sicknesses and bore our diseases.'"

~ Matthew 8:16, 17 LAB

Bible Commentary:  "Matthew continued to show Jesus' kingly nature. Through a single touch, he heals; when he speaks a single word, demons flee His presence. Jesus has authority over all evil powers and all earthly diseases. He also has power and authority to conquer sin. Sickness and evil are consequences of living in a fallen world. But in the future, when God cleanses the earth from sin, there will be no more sickness and death. Jesus' healing miracles were a taste of what the whole world will one day experience."
