Matthew 8:16-17
16When evening came, they brought to him many who were possessed by demons; and he drove out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were ill, 17so that what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, when he says, “He himself took our weaknesses and carried our diseases.”
32When evening came, when the sun set, they were bringing to him all who were ill and those who were possessed by demons. 33And the whole town was gathered together at the door. 34And he healed many who were sick with various diseases, and he drove out many demons, and he would not let the demons speak, because they knew him.
40Now as the sun was setting, all who had any who were sick with various diseases brought them to him; and he, laying his hands on each one of them, was healing them. 41And demons also were coming out from many, crying out and saying, “You are the Son of God!” And rebuking them, he would not let them speak, because they knew him to be the Messiah.
