Luke 8:52 NIV

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 8:22-56

F. Jesus’ mighty works 8:22-56This section is quite similar to Mark’s account. Luke chose miracles that demonstrated Jesus’ power over nature, demons, and illness and death to show Jesus’ authority as the divine Savior. Again he stressed the powerful word of Jesus. These miracles also revealed Jesus’ compassion and willingness to save people in need. read more

3. The healing of a woman with a hemorrhage and the raising of Jairus’ daughter 8:40-56Luke, as the other synoptic evangelists, recorded this double miracle in its historical sequence. These are the only intertwined miracles in the Gospels. One miracle involved providing deliverance from disease and the other deliverance from death.

Perhaps Luke used this order for these disciples because of Peter and John’s prominence and partnership in the leadership of the early church. Another reason Jesus admitted only these few people may have been to make the little girl feel less... read more

Luke 8:2-3 This passage, one of Luke's special contributions to the gospel narrative, describes the double circle of Christ's followers. (a) And with Him, the twelve, i.e. those specially called to high enterprise and service. This represents the circle of people in the Church who are conscious of a definite vocation and moved by the Spirit of Christ to serve the Church with consecrated lives. (b) But alongside of these are certain women which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities,... read more
