Charles Spurgeon Commentary Matthew 8:16-18

"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: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying: Himself took our infirmities, and bare our diseases. Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, he gave commandments to depart unto the other side." — Matthew 8:16-18 (ASV)

When the evening was come, they brought to him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick: That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bore our sicknesses. Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, he gave commandment to depart to the other side (Matthew 8:16–18).

For he neither loved nor courted popularity, but did his utmost to shun it. It followed him like his shadow, but he always went before it; he never followed it or sought after it: When Jesus saw great multitudes about him, he gave commandment to depart to the other side (Matthew 8:18).
