Luca 4:40

40 E in sul tramontar del sole, tutti coloro che aveano degl’infermi di diverse malattie li menarono a lui; ed egli, imposte le mani sopra ciascun di loro, li guarì.

Luca 4:40 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 4:40

Now when the sun was setting
And so the sabbath was over; (See Gill on Matthew 8:16). all they that had any sick, with divers diseases, brought them unto
him;
that is, as many of the inhabitants of Capernaum as had sick persons in their houses, let their diseases be what they would, brought them to Christ in Simon's house; which, sabbath being over, they might do consistent with their laws, and the traditions of the elders, and without any just offence to the Scribes and Pharisees, who were tenacious of them; and they were encouraged to do so, partly through the dispossessing the unclean spirit in their synagogue that day, which many of them had been witnesses of; and partly through the cure of Peter's wife's mother, which they had heard of: and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them;
without the use of medicine, by the mere imposition of his hands; which was accompanied with such power and virtue from him, as to remove, at once, every disease; nor did he refuse any person, how unworthy soever they might be in themselves, and how obstinate their disease might be.

Luca 4:40 In-Context

38 POI Gesù, levatosi della sinagoga, entrò nella casa di Simone. Or la suocera di Simone era tenuta d’una gran febbre; e lo richiesero per lei.

39 Ed egli, stando di sopra a lei, sgridò la febbre, ed essa la lasciò; ed ella, levatasi prontamente, ministrava loro.

40 E in sul tramontar del sole, tutti coloro che aveano degl’infermi di diverse malattie li menarono a lui; ed egli, imposte le mani sopra ciascun di loro, li guarì.

41 I demoni ancora uscivano di molti, gridando, e dicendo: Tu sei il Cristo, il Figliuol di Dio. Ma egli li sgridava, e non permetteva loro di parlare; perciocchè sapevano ch’egli era il Cristo.

42 Poi, fattosi giorno, egli uscì, e andò in un luogo deserto; e le turbe lo cercavano, e vennero infino a lui, e lo ritenevano; acciocchè non si partisse da loro.
