Matthew 19:2
“Great multitudes followed him, and he healed them there.”
What does Matthew 19:2 mean?
Jesus had just finished teaching about marriage and divorce, and people were drawn to him in large numbers. Matthew keeps the focus simple here: crowds came, and Jesus responded to their needs by healing them. This reminds us that healing—whether physical, emotional, or spiritual—was central to who Jesus was and what he came to do. The verse shows something beautiful about his character: he didn't turn people away or delay, but met them where they were with compassion.
