Originally, to be an attendant, to do service; and therefore of a physician, to attend upon, or treat medically. In classical writers it has also the meaning to heal, as undoubtedly in the New Testament, and in Luke (Luke 13:14; Acts 4:14, etc.). See on Matthew 8:7, and compare ἰαομαι , to heal, in Luke 5:17. [source]
A strictly literal rendering; ἀ , not, and σθένος strength, exactly answering to the Latin in, not, and firmus, strong. [source]

So A. V. and Rev. The word, however, originally means to attend, and to treat medically. The centurion uses another and stronger word, shall be healed ( ἰαθήσεται ). Luke, who as a physician is precise in the use of medical terms, uses both words in one verse (Luke 9:11). Jesus healed ( ἰᾶτο ) all who had need of treatment ( θεραπείας )Still, Luke himself does not always observe the distinction. See on Luke 5:15. [source]
Luke 5:15 puts it, “so much the more” One of the best ways to spread a thing is to tell people not to tell. It was certainly so in this case. Soon Jesus had to avoid cities and betake himself to desert places to avoid the crowds and even then people kept coming to Jesus Some preachers are not so disturbed by the onrush of crowds. [source]

The A. V. follows the reading, αὐτούς , them; i.e., the sufferers who were present, referring back to Luke 5:15. The best texts, however, read αὐτόν , him, referring to Christ, and meaning was present that he should heal; i.e., in aid of his healing. So Rev. [source]
The participle with the imperfect of the finite verb denoting something in progress, and thus corresponding to the imperfect in Luke 5:15. The multitudes were coming together, but he was engaged in retirement and prayer, so that he was inaccessible. The word occurs only in Luke, the usual New Testament word for withdraw being ἀναχωρέω .

Incorrect. Render, as Rev., served. Luke often uses the word in the sense of to heal or cure; but this is its primary sense. See on Luke 5:15. It refers to the clothing of the images of the gods in splendid garments, and bringing them costly gifts and offerings of food and drink. [source]
This use of often as an adjective appears in earlier English. So Chaucer: “Ofte sythes” or “tymes ofte,” many times. Shakespeare: “In which my often rumination wraps me in a most humorous sadness” (As you like it, IV. i. 19). And Ben Jonson:“The jolly wassal walks the often round.”The Forest, iii.Even Tennyson:“Wrench'd or broken limb - an often chanceIn those brain-stunning shocks and tourney-falls.”Gareth and Lynette.
