40 When the sun was setting, all those who
had any that were sick with various diseases brought them to Him; and He laid
His hands on every one of them and healed them. 41 And demons also came out of many, crying
out and saying, “You are the Christ, the Son of God!” And He, rebuking them,
did not allow them to speak, for they knew that He was the Christ. 42 Now when it was day, He departed and went
into a deserted place. And the crowd sought Him and came to Him, and tried to
keep Him from leaving them; 43 but
He said to them, “I must preach the kingdom of God to
the other cities also, because for this purpose I have been sent.” 44 And He was preaching in the synagogues of
Galilee.
Jesus then having healed the man of demon and Peters mother-in-law of her fever, Jesus now begins to multiply His good works. For people begin coming to Him bringing with them their sick and diseased loved ones and Jesus laying His hands on every one of them heals them all!
Vs. 41 And demons also came out of many, crying out and saying, “You are the Christ, the Son of God!” And He, rebuking them, did not allow them to speak, for they knew that He was the Christ.
Similarly, there were people there who were afflicted by demons and these too Jesus healed just as He healed the man in the synagogue of his demon affliction. Now when Jesus did so the demons that came out of people also cried out like the one in the synagogue, saying, “You are the Christ, the Son of God!” However as in the synagogue Jesus did not permit them to speak, and so He rebuked them for their trying to reveal to those they’re that He is the Christ. Because Jesus was must be believed in not through the testimony of demons, (which if listened too will quickly distort and twist who He is and what He does when He is not in their presence), and so it must be through the Word of God first and or the transformed lives born out of it that Jesus Christ is believed in.
Vs. 42-44 42 Now when it was day, He departed and went into a deserted place. And the crowd sought Him and came to Him, and tried to keep Him from leaving them; 43 but He said to them, “I must preach the kingdom of God to the other cities also, because for this purpose I have been sent.” 44 And He was preaching in the synagogues of Galilee.
Jesus then having done so many wonderful works of God amidst the people of Capernaum that even when He sought solitude in some deserted place, there they came to Him in droves, trying to keep Him from leaving them (vs. 42). Now when they tried to keep Jesus from leaving them, Jesus said to them, “I must preach the kingdom of God to the other cities also, because for this purpose I have been sent.” vs. 43 Jesus Christ then cannot be contained to one region or one particular group of people (and thus one denomination or church) because as He says, “I must preach the kingdom of God to other cities also, because for this purpose I have been sent.” Therefore, the Word and testimony of the Lord Jesus Christ must go to everyone, everywhere. For that is the Will of God, that the preaching and teaching of Jesus Christ and what He has done be proclaimed everywhere.
