Commentary

certain women . . . healed, &c.--on whom He had the double claim of having brought healing to their bodies and new life to their souls. Drawn to Him by an attraction more than magnetic, they accompany Him on this tour as His almoners--ministering unto Him of their substance. Blessed Saviour! It melts us to see Thee living upon the love of Thy ransomed people. That they bring Thee their poor offerings we wonder not. Thou hast sown unto them spiritual things, and they think it, as well they might, a small thing that Thou shouldst reap their material things (Co1 9:11). But dost Thou take it at their hand, and subsist upon it? "Oh, the depth of the riches" (Rom 11:33) --of this poverty of His! Mary Magdalene--that is, probably, of Magdala (on which see Mat 15:39; see on Mar 8:10). went--rather, "had gone." seven devils-- (Mar 16:9). It is a great wrong to this honored woman to identify her with the once profligate woman of Luk 7:37, and to call all such penitents Magdalenes. The mistake has arisen from confounding unhappy demoniacal possession with the conscious entertainment of diabolic impurity, or supposing the one to have been afflicted as a punishment for the other--for which there is not the least scriptural ground.
