A.T. Robertson Commentary Matthew 8:16

"And when even was come, they brought unto him many possessed with demons: and he cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all that were sick:" — Matthew 8:16 (ASV)

When even was come (οψιας γενομενης). Genitive absolute. A beautiful sunset scene at the close of the Sabbath day . Then the crowds came as Jesus stood in the door of Peter's house (Matthew 8:14) as all the city gathered there with the sick, "all those who had it bad" and he healed them "with a word" (λογω). It was a never to be forgotten memory for those who saw it.
