Matthew 19:2 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 19:2

And great multitudes followed him
The Persic version adds, "of the sick and diseased"; but all that followed him were not such, though some were: these came not only from Galilee, but from the adjacent parts, from the country beyond Jordan, and the coasts of Judea, where he had been formerly; and who resort to him again, as Mark observes; and whom, according to his usual manner, he taught and instructed in the knowledge of divine things, and confirmed his doctrines by miracles:

and he healed them there;
in the above mentioned places, even as many of them as were sick and diseased.

Matthew 19:2 In-Context

1 And it came about that after saying these words, Jesus went away from Galilee, and came into the parts of Judaea on the other side of Jordan.

2 And a great number went after him; and he made them well there.

3 And certain Pharisees came to him, testing him, and saying, Is it right for a man to put away his wife for every cause?

4 And he said in answer, Have you not seen in the Writings, that he who made them at the first made them male and female, and said,

5 For this cause will a man go away from his father and mother, and be joined to his wife; and the two will become one flesh?
