Matthew 8:16
When even was come ( οψιας γενομενης ). Genitive absolute. A beautiful sunset scene at the close of the Sabbath day (Mr 1:21). Then the crowds came as Jesus stood in the door of Peter's house (Mr 1:33; Mt 8:14) as all the city gathered there with the sick, "all those who had it bad" (see on Mt 4:24) and he healed them "with a word" ( λογω ). It was a never to be forgotten memory for those who saw it.
