When evening came, they brought to Him many who were demon-possessed; and He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were ill.
This verse tells of a day in the life of Jesus as He walked this earth. Many people brought to Him a number of people who had evil spirits; and with only a word He forced out the evil spirits and healed everyone who was sick in body. Jesus still loves and heals all who are hurting in their minds or their bodies today.
The Message Bible says: That evening a lot of demon-afflicted people were brought to him. He relieved the inwardly tormented. He cured the bodily ill.
Today is just like it was then; many people have friends and loved ones who are oppressed by demons. Jesus loves them now like He loved them then and will cast the spirits out with a word. Today His ambassador saints, in simple Christian ministry, minister those healing and delivering words. Whatever you need, Jesus will do it. Just trust Him.
Jesus loves me and frees me from all evil powers and heals my body today. I?m free inside and out.
