CHAP. VIII.
The evangelist having, in the foregoing chapters, given us a specimen of our Lord's preaching, proceeds now to give some instances of the miracles he wrought, which prove him a Teacher come from God, and the great Healer of a diseased world. In this chapter we have, I. Christ's cleansing of a leper, ver. 1-4. II. His curing a palsy and fever, ver. 5-18. III. His communing with two that were disposed to follow him, ver. 19-22. IV. His controlling the tempest, ver. 23-27. V. His casting out devils, ver. 28-34.
