SCRIPTURE

"In that hour he cured many of diseases and plagues and evil spirits; and on many that were blind he bestowed sight." — Luke 7:21 (ASV)

In that hour he cured (εν εκεινη τη ορα εθεραπευσεν). This item is not in Matthew. Jesus gave the two disciples of John an example of the direct method. They had heard. Then they saw for themselves.

Diseases (νοσων),

plagues (μαστιγων),

evil spirits (πνευματων πονηρων), all kinds of bodily ills, and he singles out the

blind (τυφλοις) to whom in particular he bestowed sight (εχαριζατο βλεπειν), gave as a free gift (from χαρις, grace) seeing (βλεπειν).
