Jesus traveled throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, while healing all kinds of sickness and disease among the people.
Commentaries
4:23 - 4:25
Narrative Summary of Jesus’ Activity.
Good news that only focuses on the “soul” rather than seeing men and women as whole persons is not the true Good News of Jesus; therefore, where Matthew mentions “all kinds of diseases and infirmities,” we should also understand today: everything that burdens us and weighs us down, like oppression, injustice, and marginalization.
