¹⁶ In the evening the people brought him many who were possessed by demons. He forced the ⌞evil⌟ spirits out of people with a command and cured everyone who was sick. ¹⁷ So what the prophet Isaiah had said came true: “He took away our weaknesses and removed our diseases.”

¹⁸ Now, when Jesus saw a crowd around him, he ordered ⌞his disciples⌟ to cross to the other side of the Sea of Galilee.
