They had come
This phrase indicates intentionality and purpose. The Greek word used here is "ἦλθον" (ēlthon), which is a form of "erchomai," meaning to come or to go. It suggests movement towards a goal or destination. In the context of the Gospel, this movement is not just physical but spiritual, as people are drawn to Jesus, the source of truth and healing. Historically, this reflects the widespread reputation of Jesus as a teacher and healer, drawing people from various regions.

to hear Him
The act of hearing in the biblical context often implies more than just listening; it involves understanding and obeying. The Greek word "ἀκούειν" (akouein) is used here, which means to hear or listen. In the Jewish tradition, hearing is closely linked to the Shema (Deuteronomy 6:4-5), which calls for listening and responding to God's commandments. Thus, the crowd's desire to hear Jesus underscores their recognition of His authority and the divine wisdom in His teachings.

and to be healed
The Greek word for healed is "ἰᾶσθαι" (iasthai), which means to cure or restore to health. This reflects the holistic nature of Jesus' ministry, addressing both physical and spiritual ailments. Healing in the biblical sense often signifies restoration to wholeness, reflecting God's original design for humanity. The people's desire for healing indicates their faith in Jesus' power and authority over sickness.

of their diseases
The term "diseases" is translated from the Greek word "νόσων" (nosōn), which refers to sicknesses or ailments. In the ancient world, diseases were often seen as a result of sin or demonic influence. Jesus' ability to heal diseases demonstrates His authority over the physical world and His compassion for human suffering. This healing serves as a sign of the in-breaking Kingdom of God, where there will be no more sickness or pain.

and those troubled
The phrase "those troubled" comes from the Greek "ὀχλούμενοι" (ochloumenoi), meaning to be disturbed or harassed. This term conveys a sense of being oppressed or tormented, often used in the context of spiritual or demonic affliction. It highlights the reality of spiritual warfare and the oppressive nature of evil forces in the world.

by unclean spirits
"Unclean spirits" is translated from the Greek "πνευμάτων ἀκαθάρτων" (pneumatōn akathartōn). In Jewish thought, unclean spirits were demonic entities that defiled and oppressed individuals. The term "unclean" signifies a state of impurity, separating individuals from the holiness required by God. Jesus' authority over these spirits demonstrates His power to purify and liberate, restoring individuals to a state of spiritual cleanliness and communion with God.

were healed
The repetition of the concept of healing, "ἐθεραπεύοντο" (etherapeuonto), emphasizes the completeness and effectiveness of Jesus' ministry. This word, related to "therapeuō," means to serve or to heal, indicating a restoration to health and wholeness. The healing of those troubled by unclean spirits signifies Jesus' victory over evil and His role as the ultimate healer, bringing peace and restoration to those in bondage. This reflects the fulfillment of prophetic promises of deliverance and the establishment of God's Kingdom on earth.
