Luke 8:26-39. See the contents of these verses explained at large, on Matthew 8:28-34; and Mark 5:1-17. I beseech thee, torment me not Let me continue where I am, and do not, before my time, cast me into the place of torments. For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man Being moved with pity at the sight of such a miserable spectacle; for oftentimes it had caught him Therefore our compassionate Lord had made the more haste to cast it out. That he would not command... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Luke 8:26-39
58. Demon power overcome at Gadara (Matthew 8:28-34; Mark 5:1-20; Luke 8:26-39)Another place that Jesus visited was the district to the east and south of the Lake of Galilee known as Gadara. The people were mainly Gentiles and were known as Gadarenes (sometimes as Gerasenes, after the chief town of the district, or even Gergesenes, after another local town) (Matthew 8:28; Mark 5:1). Jesus was met there by a man whose body had been cruelly taken over by demons. To release the man from his... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 8:35
And they went out to see what had come to pass; and they came to Jesus, and found the man, from whom the demons had gone out, sitting, clothed and in his right mind, at the feet of Jesus: and they were afraid.In the presence of one who could so heal such a victim of Satan, the people should have been able to overcome their displeasure at the property loss; but, alas, they were not able.They were afraid ... As Ash noted, "All four miracle stories in this chapter of Luke note the idea of... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 8:36
And they that saw it told them how he that was possessed with demons was made whole.The eyewitnesses of the wonder described all that had taken place to the assembled villagers who had gathered to view the spectacle afforded by the erstwhile madman sitting clothed and in his right mind at the feet of Jesus, with strong emphasis, it seems, on the death of those swine. Oh yes, the herd of hogs; how easily are men diverted from that which is most important to that which is secondary! read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 8:37
And all the people of the country of the Gerasenes asked him to depart from them; for they were holden with a great fear: and he entered into a boat, and returned.What an incredible thing it is that those people would not have seized upon the opportunity to have brought their sick and afflicted to the Master. Such blindness and short-sightedness are amazing. The rash request that Jesus should depart, our Lord honored at once; and there is no record that he ever returned. However, as the next... 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
