The demoniac whose name was Legion. Two miserable creatures are mentioned in Matthew. No sooner has Jesus come forth on the land than they rush towards him. Human, yet without the mental attributes of humanity, shunned by all, left in the lonely place, to rend the air with fearful cries, to clash themselves against stones, wretched beyond all names of wretchedness. One of the two is singled out by St. Luke, and described (verses 27, 29). Observe the effect of Jesus' presence. Instantly... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 8:37-40
Jesus Christ: rejection and welcome. We have in these two passages a very striking contrast; we have in the one a very deliberate and consentaneous dismissal, and in the other a very cordial and unanimous reception of our Lord,—it is illustrative of the treatment he is now receiving at the hands of men. I. THE REJECTION OF JESUS CHRIST . 1 . It may be deliberate and determined. In the case of the Gadarenes it was emphatically so. They all came together to seek him and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 8:38
Now the man out of whom the devils were departed besought him that he might be with him: but Jesus sent him away, saying . The restored man longed to remain with his Deliverer, but this was not permitted—the great Teacher bade him stay behind in his own country. Perhaps, thought the Redeemer, "some of these hardhearted Gadarenes will be won by his testimony—one of themselves, too, and so notorious a sufferer." His work, the Master told him, was there among his own people; so he stayed,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 8:38-39
Our return for God's greater kindnesses. The outcasting of a demon from a man was certainly one of the greater miracles Christ wrought, and the greater benefits he bestowed. It required special power, and it conferred a boon of the highest order. We look at— I. THE GREATER KINDNESSES WE RECEIVE FROM GOD . It might be argued that all God's mercies are great, inasmuch as 1 . That some of them are little marked by us. Among these are: 2 . That there are special... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 8:40
When Jesus was returned, the people gladly received him: for they were all waiting for him. Allusion has already been made, in the notes which preceded the parable of the sower, to the enthusiasm for Jesus in the Galilee lake-cities and their neighbourhood. This, as the Master well knew, was only a temporary religious revival, but still while it lasted it gathered great crowds in every place where he visited. He had not been long in the Gadarene district, but his return was eagerly looked... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 8:22-56
A group of miracles. The mother and brethren of Jesus had tried in vain to interfere with the important work in which he was engaged; he clung to his disciples as the real members of his Father's family. And so we find his career as a merciful Miracle-worker continuing. We have here a group of notable miracles; it was, as Godet suggests, the culmination of his miraculous work. Nature, human nature, and death yield to his authority in their order. I. SAFETY IN THE SOCIETY OF ... read more
