    In Matthew 4:23 and Matthew 9:35, μαλακίαν occurs in the clause describing Jesus healing every illness and every sickness among the people. In Matthew 10:1, the same form occurs with the authority given to the disciples so that they might heal every illness and every sickness; the APB presents the same healing context in all three verses.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across Matthew 4:23, Matthew 9:35, and Matthew 10:1, the APB renders the healing clause with “every illness and every sickness.” It does not isolate the contribution of μαλακίαν from the paired wording.
