Diseases - plagues [ν ο σ ω ν μ α σ τ ι γ ω ν]. See on Matthew 4:23; Mark 3:10. Marking the two classes of disease recognized in medical writings, chronic and acute.

Evil spirits [π ν ε υ μ α τ ω ν]. On ponhrov, evil, see ch. Luke 3:19. It is applied to evil spirits by Luke only, with the single exception of Matthew 12:45. In accordance with its signification of evil on its active side, it is applied in medicine to that which spreads destruction or corruption; as the poison of serpents. Note, moreover, that Luke distinguishes here between disease and demoniac possession, as often. See ch. Luke 6:17; Luke 6:18; Luke 8:2; Luke 13:32. He gave [ε χ α ρ ι σ α τ ο]. More is expressed by this verb than simple giving. He gave as a free, gracious, joy - giving gift. See on cariv, favor, ch. 1 30; and compare freely give, Romans 8:32. Also, 1 Corinthians 2:12.
