32. And at even, when the sun did set--so
Mt 8:16.
Luke
(Lu 4:40)
says it was setting.
they brought unto him all that were diseased, and them that were
possessed with devils--the demonized. From
Lu 13:14
we see how unlawful they would have deemed it to bring their sick to
Jesus for a cure during the sabbath hours. They waited, therefore, till
these were over, and then brought them in crowds. Our Lord afterwards
took repeated occasion to teach the people by example, even at the risk
of His own life, how superstitious a straining of the sabbath rest this
was.
