Mattheüs 14:35 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 14:35

And when the men of the place had knowledge of him
Not merely by report, but by face, having seen, and heard him before; see ( Luke 5:1 ) .

They sent out into all that country round about, and brought unto
him all that were diseased;
which not only expresses their faith in him, that he was able to heal all their sick and diseased, were they ever so many; but also their affectionate regard to their fellow creatures and countrymen; and their care and diligence in sending messengers about to their respective cities, towns, and villages, and which must be attended with expense: for they neither spared cost nor pains, to do good to their country; in all which, they set an example worthy of imitation.

35 En als de mannen van die plaats Hem werden kennende, zonden zij in dat gehele omliggende land, en brachten tot Hem allen, die kwalijk gesteld waren;
